When I was born, it was on a pirate ship. When I took my first steps, it was on a pirate ship. When I said my first words - you guessed it, I was on a pirate ship! My parents were the greatest pirates who ever sailed the seas. Other pirates cowered whenever they saw the flag of my family, the Shellwalkers, wave up in the air.

Growing up I loved the pirate life. The adrenaline, the fresh ocean breeze. My parents always made sure they took good care of me too. Life was good. Until, it all came crashing down with the force of a tsunami.

One night I was in my room when I heard a loud crash.

I ran outside to find colossal waves and a giant storm above us.

“Mom? Dad?”

“Tina! Quick, get to the lifeboat!”

“No, I’m not leaving you two!”

Dad: “Henry, take her!”

Mom: “We’ll be with you soon honey.”

Henry, my parents’ trusted right-hand-man, lifted me up and ran with me to the lifeboat at the side of the ship. We hopped in, but suddenly the rope holding it up snapped and the boat fell into the water with us in it.
