Finally my fish eating days are over

The night came in swiftness. After dinner, I stared at the night sky one more time.

Finally, I won't have to stare at the sky from floating on a boat. I think I'll have my fill of meat and veggies tomorrow.

I didn't really like vegetables but I didn't care anymore. Anything was better than fish in my book.

Lately, it's been calm, too calm perhaps. And because of that, I couldn't let my guard down. I didn't know why but before everything got screwed I always got this calm period. These days I shiver whenever I get the feeling that something might end up happening just after this period.

I sighed and closed my eyes. There wasn't anybody near me which was good. I didn't completely trust these guys but having the old man around did put me at ease. Enough for me to sleep on a hammock in the middle of the ship.

"Boy, you up?"

"Yeah."

The old man came near my hammock and sat down. "We need to talk."

"Yeah."
