The pirates were closing in. It was the day we were supposed to go ashore. Our ship was stuck on the rocks. We were near an island supposedly haunted by dead zombies. Nobody wanted to go out and check the island. And yet, if we left it until the next day, the tide would carry the ship far out to sea. The tide came in once every fortnight. We were just a couple of adults, many kids, and one or two dogs and cats. I was busy warming one corner of the island and we had one lifeboat. While we were looking around, humming and hawing, we looked to the west and there.... The ship was flying the black, dreaded pirate's flag. Guess who got into the lifeboat first?

@miniam Sure. ha ha

I am more scared of zombies than of pirates. But pirates are the more immediate threat. How is your amazon store getting along?

Thanks, Valerie. Yes, these days the pirates are getting smaller and smaller

. But one must not lose hope...I think?
