__My creative writing - The two coin curse!__

"Raise the anchor" shouted Billy the captain of the ship. The first mate raised the anchor and they headed out to sea. As Billy steered the ship out of the dock Jeff the ship's cook, burst through the door. "Yes" the captain said unimpressed "what is it"?

"I wanted to ask you what you would like for lunch"?

"Hmmm" wondered the captain "just something basic, get Stewart to fish up some prawns, about fifty and you can boil some beans".

"Yes sir" replied Jeff walking out the door. Jeff went up to the main deck and found Stewart the fisherman slumped in a chair. "Stewart" Jeff said, " captain wants you to fish up some prawns, about fifty".

"Sure" said Stewart getting up, "I'll just get me net and I'll get started".

"Great" said Jeff heading back inside.

Meanwhile, as the captin was still controlling the ship he suddenly saw something up ahead, he grabbed the speaker phone and yelled into it. "Storm! Storm! Lower the sails, hurry! The sound echoed around the ship and every one panicked. The storm was not actually a storm it was a tidal wave. Every one ran to the left side of the deck to look, it was humungus, it was the size of twenty cruise ships lumped into one. The sailors ran around crazy, pulling at levers and ropes, pushing buttons and slamming doors. Suddenly the tidal wave landed but luckily, it was just out of reach of the ship. But without warning it pushed the ship to one side nearly tipping it over. A few sailors toppled over into the dark sea but soon returned to the ship. Every one on the ship was frozen with fear, the captain asked the first mate to lower the anchor for he had had enough, he needed a break.

While the captain had his break Jack the marine biologist went down to the sea floor to explore. He caught his eye on a huge stingray, Jack had always been fascinated with stingrays so he went and knelt beside it watching it's every move. As he crawled with the stingray, his head bumped something, he stopped and looked, it was a big box the colour of silver. He looked at it in surprise and then picked it up and returned to the boat. The sailors were most interested with what Jack had found, they pleaded for him to open it. Jack could take it no longer, he pulled the lid off the box. Suddenly a bright flash of gold streamed out of the box and inside were two coins the size of a fist. Jack's eyes widened as he read the coins. They were from the merpeople land. The two coins together were two million dollars. Jack showed his treasure to the captain who turned the ship around to go to land. He was so excited he thought he would become rich, but no it was rather the opposite, for nobody knew the two coin curse.

When the box has been opened and the coins have been revealed whoever sets there eyes upon the coins will have a curse, a curse that never ends. That person will not have friends, kids, homes, shelter, not even true love. They won't have money, they will starve and die in pain. And this is exactly what happened, Jeff lived his life in jail and died of a heart attack. Stewart was homeless and lived on the streets, and died of starvation. Jack lived in the wilderness and died of frostbite. And Billy the captain lived his life as a servant for a man who did bad deeds and died by poison. And did you know that the curse can still be passed on, for whoever steps on Jeff, Stewart,Jack or Billy's grave will then have the curse and it will then be passed on and on and on.
