Flee to the ship

From Create Your Own Story

The sight of the living dead fills you with such fear that you drop your weapons and turn to flee. You quickly travel back up the muddy road back to the dock. Along the way during you flight you slip and fall covering yourself in mud.

Your steps echo as you dash along on the wooden dock and up the gangplank to the ship. With wild eyes you convince the Captain to shove off and travel back out to sea. As Africa once again disappears back into the thick fog you give a sigh of relief.

While cleaning yourself up some of the braver sailors question you on what you saw. You stare at them with eye that look though them and stare off a thousand more yards. "I'm not sure I believe what I saw. I know you wouldn't. Let of leave the Dark Continent to never return."

For the rest of the voyage you are never asked about what happened. You suffer many sleepless nights at the horrors you witness but you are safe from them. When you return to Europe, you never mention of your adventures and even hang up your sword and gun. You take a job as a magistrate and marry. It is only when you have children that you once again speak of your adventures and even then your censor much of what you saw.
