I hear voices, like memories but I’m sure they’re real. I can’t seem to open my eyes. Saved, the word instantly comes like a flash. Is that Meg? It sounds like Meg, but the ship…. The last thing I remember I was talking to Meg, we were on the deck of the Warrington Hart. We were talking of our respective plans for the future when…..An explosion! The powder magazine, dear lord!! Could we have actually survived? I try and speak but my lips barley move, my mouth is excruciatingly dry and all I can taste is salt. I hear other voices, men’s voices, I feel myself being lifted, and searing pain slices through my hands and face. As I am laid back down my eyes open slightly and the sun breaks the darkness, I see several shapes but cannot make anyone out. After several moments I can make out one of the shapes leaning over me, it’s Meg. She puts something to my lips, it’s cool and sour, but anything is better than salt water. I try again and find the words come easier now. “Meg, we’re alive”. I remove one of my hands clutching the small chest in my lap and try to sit myself up, but I am too week and fall back down. I lay there as we swiftly move off into the distance.
