SHORT STORY DEPICTING
As the U.N.S. America continued its voyage across the ocean many vagabonds and unlawful peasants became noticeable to the original list passengers. Inquiries to the captain were made about the undocumented passengers but the captain didn’t considered the matter a priority since the ship was days from any land docking. Without restraint vagabonds and unlawful peasants began breaking into rooms stealing valuables.
The vagabonds and unlawful peasants become bolder with their presence as they ravaged the ship. While the vagabonds and unlawful peasants obstructed more of the passage ways on the ship the pious elite hitchhikers kept the captain and officers of the ship distracted with ongoing grievances and accommodation demands for first class service. It would be days before the U.N.S. America would reach any seaport or docking. This was just enough time for the ship to become rag-tag inside and out from vagabonds and unlawful peasants abusing accommodations.
The captain and officers had no control of the countless mobs of vagabonds and unlawful peasants who boarded the ship. The mass mobs literally became destructive inhabitants on the ship. Within a short time the pious elite hitchhikers took notice of the out of control mobs and demanded to take control of the ship. The captain relinquished authority of the ship hoping the mobs would settle down and listen to the pious elite hitchhiker’s agenda. The original list passengers didn’t make a confrontation about the matter because they were anticipating ship docking soon.
Under the pious elite hitchhikers control of the ship and their new directives to guide the ship off its original course the ship smashed into many rock mounds and crashed into sea walls navigating through shallow waters. Food and supplies became rapidly depleted because the ship went days beyond its scheduled voyage time at sea. In addition the vagabonds and unlawful peasants had been stealing food from the stock rooms causing rationing to be implemented. Finally the original listed passengers decided to cast off the ship into the life boats leaving their wealthy possessions to the vagabonds and unlawful peasants. There was no land foreseen within hundreds of sea miles and the pious elite hitchhikers, vagabonds, unlawful peasants and cowardly captain and officers didn’t confront the original list passengers’ departure. All that remained on board the ship were the captain, officers and crew along with the controlling pious elite hitchhikers, vagabonds and unlawful peasants.
The original list passengers were fortunate as the ocean current guided the life boats two days to an uninhabited island. They were double fortunate because the island was in direct alignment of commercial and military shipping lanes. After seven years of inhabiting the island the original list passengers of the U.N.S. America built and developed the island into a marvelous resort island. The original list passengers worked together and accomplished their original intent of their maiden voyage, to find a place of peace and enlightenment.
Every now and then the original list passengers who are now
owners of the island would see in the distant sunset horizon the old rag-tag ship
wreck called United Nation Ship
