Olly - Gulf of Mexico 26 Years before

  The pirate ship crashed into the merchant ship. Pirate Captain Turner boarded the vessel carrying a jolly roger flag. His pirate crew cheering, as Pirate Captain Turner claimed the last free merchant ship as his.

  The boy crashed the two toy boats together, he used the window behind them as his sea. The view was fantastic, a calm clear day, a small island was visible with the palm trees swaying in a light breeze. The small yacht rolled as the choppy waves hit it. The window display flickered, then drops out. The coast line was now visible contrasting sharply with the scene before. As far as the eye could see, the coastline was cluttered with industrial buildings. The water was grimy and filled with waste, and the clouds moved in rapidly darkening the sky.

  The boy picked up his pirate boat up and declared, “I want to be a pirate, the greatest ever.”

  His father turned to him, “Don’t be silly Olly, the only pirates today are corporate pirates in offices.”

  His father noticed the display malfunctioning and then banged on the side window. The view of the palm trees and calm waters returned.
