The captain looked to the sky

as a thick dark sky was closing in

oh crap he said

knowing fully well it is Jupiter's day

An unpleasant evening of Tooru

grim to its core

Reminiscing on downing a bottle of dirty old scotch at the tavern

never missing happy hour on thirsty Thursdays

A huge flash of light appears

Bow crossed elbow

shielding his sights

Its strikes the anchor of the ship

huge vibrations moving through his spine

this is it!

an episode of doom

it happened in a flash

still in its violet violent spark

before it faded away

another followed up

slightly missing the ship this time

steering it of course

Bam! massive peals of thunder

the Clyde to lighting

inseparable love

and so it began

the rains started pouring

oh! good grief

It could only get better

positioned where the ocean meets the sky

A crew member dashed in with a grim report

the ship is sinking

He vowed never to leave his ship behind

Marla is all he has

His wife passed away from a failed shock therapy

the only home he knows would be thousands of feets under water

a second wave is coming

a wrecking ball

it is inevitable

a chance to save himself using the last pod

a chance to be united once again with his true love

frozen

not afraid of what's coming

in despair of the loss

Marla would be gone too
