\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Secret Life Of Livermold (Part 2)<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The picture of the ship was still in place.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

No indication what happened? A waste.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I went to bed with much tribulations.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Whatever happened, I had no indication.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Next day, I went on the computer.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I looked up the Spanish ship intruder.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I had almost given up.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then, I found it. What luck.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There was such a ship in 1781<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0I was sure it was the right one.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was scuttled by pirates, gold was taken.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was off the Virginia coast, if not mistaken.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The pirate was believed to be Black Beard.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The famous Oak Island treasure? How weird.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This made no sense to me in any way.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I had to make sense of it today.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I used a magnifying glass on the ship.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I saw the name. I could barely read it.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It said the S S Scuttle.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This was a real muddle.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I read all about Black Beard and Oak Island.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then, I just sat there in silence.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I looked at the painting again.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Soon, it seemed to move within.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It grew rapidly larger and I was sucked in.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was in the first mate\u2019s cabin then.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There was a knock on the door.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Captain Crutch, looking the same as before.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHave you got the Captain\u2019s Log up to date?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cGet to work on it. Don\u2019t want to be late.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAye, aye Captain,\u201d I said with ease.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCan I have a word in private, please.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it First Mate Livermold?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Beard is the problem, history told.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Beard!! The cut throat pirate?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cYes Sir. For your gold, he may try it.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHistory said he stole your gold.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThen sunk your ship, or so it\u2019s told.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI am only warning you Captain.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think I am a sap then?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been ready for pirates daily.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be his ship that sinks, maybe.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then there was a shout from above.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cPirates!! Man those cannons ya lugs!!\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Captain rushed to the deck.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I started to follow in respect.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Suddenly, I got really dizzy and fell.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

As I fell, I gave a yell.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I landed in my recliner again.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was hugging it like an old friend.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was shaking. It had happened again.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This is real. I cannot pretend.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I could not understand what was going on.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But, intended to find out before too long.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
