My story, it begins at night in the middle of a dead silece and freezeing cold, it was there at that specific moment when you think nothing is gong to happen, back then it seemed like a completely normal day you con even qualify it as an extremely fortunate day for all comerciantes across the river because the president, Zachary Taylor has just died and the country was faceing a new trancision of power but mean while the people weren't paying taxes so they were astonishingly happy all across the river, but it's as my friend Bid Mcphee told me once: "Who knows when the hurricane will strike?". And as a presage of destiny, that fatidic night a boat came out of nowhere making no noice ond only noticed by the non only non-sleeping presence on the boat Jackie Robinson my families's dog. We adopted him after we found it just outside Dr. Joe Morgan's dental ship, it was love at first sight, and sice then they became very close until that tragic night. Jackie Robinson woke me up by licking my tongue, at first i thought he was trying to drive me crazy or he maybe just wanted some water so I jumped out of my bed and headed to the deck.
I will always remember that ship geting closer the silence was terryfing I won't forget how fear invaded me that night it seemed to me like a nightmare that would make a young kid pee his clothes but I was not longer that kid, in that precise moment I experimented another fear these one was different these one was not made up from my mind these was the worst fear of all the fear of uncertainity and doubt, I remember the next 3 minutes if my life very well I simply stood there watching, trembling, suffering but couldn't move my legs didn't repond to my command,my voice was gone like all the good things semed to dissapear.
The next thing that came was the worst of all when the ship was just a few meters away a light was turned on the deck of the ship it was then when I first felt releif on that night but it was only was the peace before the storm. when i was on the stairs towards my room Iwill not forget all the shouting that i heard. The first thing they shouted was "Fire" it was only then that my parents woke up took me on their hands took me to the deck and i saw it as red as the sun and as hot as hell. the next thing I rember was the trembling made by the crash of the 2 ships all the rest is on red and orange
The next thing i remembered was that pestilent smell like a men that hasn't taken a shower in months. When I finally recovered consiousnes was amazed I was expectong to be all wet but when Ithink that now I've realized that was the less important problem that I had. just a few moments later I opened my my eyes there it was clay lots of products made of clay and at the other side an old looking face man with an scareon his right chick was sitted on the opposite corner from where I was my first feeling was to jump out of the boat but when I tried I felt powerless it was only then when he realiced that I was awoken.
The next part I would describe it as the end of my suffering the man presented himself as Bobby Doerr a comercaint that traded native southern american tribes products in the north he described himself as an ordinary comerciant but belive me he wasn't he was more like James Monroe he was good in all the arts of trading buying and selleing some could even say he invented the loans all across the river the only thing Ican say about my savior is that he is the honest person I've ever met and the less prejudiced person because he always was open to negociate anything to anyone it doesn't matter he was a slave a native american indian, another american etctera he was famous all across the river for all it's qualities and was loved from north to south every body new him and thats how my next 7 years past always traveling north and soth ther and back.
Until one day at Craig Briggio's vapor boat Bobby made the worst mistake of his buisnes carrier he bet. the was in a poker game I had a bad feeling about these game Ioften feel I should have warned my master but Ididn't so I had to see the game my master bet all he had to his last hand the damned hand two pairs eights and aces he really that he was going to win but unfortunatelly for him Briggio had a Full House threes with sevens. And these is the moment that changed everything Bobby and me lost everything we had exept for our spirit.
Now we work at a ship of one of our old clients
