    Chapter 2

    We sailed to the Cay, I didn’t know how long it would take but we had lunch and dinner on the boat. Captain even enticed me into doing a little fishing, that was fun. It was late evening when we arrived at the Cay. We docked the boat in the cove facing the mountain next to a rather large sailing ship. I quickly found out that was home for the Captain. Boarding the boat, Captain headed for the back of the boat, in the movies this was always the captain’s quarters. “”Bob, as you probably g

    He is studying business. Essentially, Captain owns the Island. So he's Mayor, protector, kind hearted when it comes to his people. He needs to learn how to manage the development of the Island.

    This is a short story, if you are as old as me, you can remember going to the cinema (movies). They always played a short movie before a main attraction. This is my short movie.

    I think investing in people with love and concern for their well being provides the greatest return. Thanks for reading and commenting on my story

    Chapter 14

    Thank you. My stories come to me in my dreams. Something I have read or seen triggers a thought process that results in my dreams. I can't explain it, but once the idea solidifies, I can develop the story. I don't know who my muse is, but he has led to my stories.

    You are an optimist my friend, but maybe, just maybe, one person has decided to extend their hand to a child in need. Then this story has paid off more than I could ever imagine.

    Chapter 1

    I think in those days the captains had to maintain their ships at sea, the crew didn't get much money, mostly rum and food. Their cost of living was small. At their base they did have a home, and they were paid a percentage of the haul, so to speak. The Captain received a percentage. If you were in a group, then the owner of the ship received in then neighbor hood of 60 to 75 percent, but he had to maintain the ship..

    Where did you get the idea I might be sadistic? I'm not sadistic, just the opposite, if I had my way, every child would be loved. If my story convinces one person to do something to help a child, I'd be over the moon. Thanks for reading and commenting

    Chapter 1

    The Captain is older than Bob. I wondered why he wanted to go to college. He said he was responsible for the operation and governing the Cay, and wanted a degree in business management..

    Chapter 10

    You need to know me. I learned a long time ago, imagination is better than any written words. This story was about Jim, not the boys. Although the boys were needed to bring us to understand Jim. Maybe for future stories I'll focus on one of these boys. Thanks for your comments. One of my friends said that I write these type of stories because I'm a little sadistic.

    Ho Ho and a bottle of Rum. This is a short story, but you'll like it. I have a longer story at the editors

    Chapter 14

    Jim wasn't gay. He just never found a girl that turned him on. I think he was hurt in the past. A reason he didn't want any women working the truck

    Chapter 1

    My name is Robert Dewling and this is my story and how I was indoctrinated into piracy, modern day piracy. I just turn 18, Mom and Dad decided I would go to a small private university in the south. I think they picked that university because it gave them an excuse to spend their winters in a warm climate. I checked out the school and saw they had an excellent course in architecture. My dad’s brother is an architect and I thought his buildings were fantastic. He said they were his mark on the
