The True Story of the S. S. Minnow (Sometimes also known as ‘6 Idiots in a leaky Boat’)

Chapter Four; Suddenly there is a great surge and swell of water all around the boat. Great eddies of water swirl all around, waves splash over the sides, and the passengers (especially the men) start screaming hysterically. You lock all the guests in the downstairs cabin and try to catch a glimpse of what is causing the chaos. You spot flashes of a large clawed foot and a long neck. The skipper is going crazy. He hops up and down on the deck and rams his head against the mast. “I know what it is ya buck-eyed swab, but I never in all me travels and torments on this great dark ocean believed it ta be real.” I look at him and see fear carving life from his limbs. “Boy …That beast is the legendary man eating ‘Kracken’from Davy Jones Locker”. The boat is now lurching from side to side as the Kracken takes great chunks out of the port, starboard, for’d and aft sections. You try throwing things at it, and you pick up the Warnings black box. As you raise it at the Kracken the boat rolls sideways and the box hurtles into the engine room. There is an enormous explosion and half the boat flies into the air then crashes back into the water. The Kracken is still taking bites out of your half of the boat. Meanwhile in the cabin below, the passengers, sure that their days, or even minutes, are numbered have started regretting their wasteful lives. Each one promises that if they escape they will spend the rest of their days improving the world and becoming a better person and that never again will they do all the silly things again.
