Sailor and the Ruined Castle, Con't


The week past quietly enough and was filled with fishing boats and days at sea, Sailor was content to visit with the fish mongers and meander through the village thoroughfares; there was even that special trip to the open market that was very interesting. But the very air began to feel different to Sailor and it seemed to signal change, a change he didn't necessarily want. Always now this feeling dogged his steps; almost a part of him now: this nameless apprehension. Something was going to happen and soon! Was it meant for the town or for him? He could not tell because as the week progressed this feeling became like fog, enveloping Sailor, making things unclear and hard to see. It was like being swallowed into something or somewhere... Yes, that was it ~ somewhere. A place, different from here? But 'here' was the only place Sailor knew, the only place that was familiar to him. He was leaving! He felt that too and it frightened him.

Sailor and the Ruined Castle, Con't


There was a shadow flitting across the shattered courtyard; Sailor could just hear the faint footfalls and the tumbling pebbles where something had just passed but all he could perceive moving in the darkness was a quick crimean shape before it was gone again. There was little use in pursuing it so Sailor let it go, it would come back and when it did it, warranted further observation. Slipping from the castle walls Sailor headed towards the lake and for the nearby fishing village where his home now lay.
