A Very well written, and compelling story, i never get to read a story this long - long yes - in the context of what i know most members here on steemit prefer - but this one, well....I just about wanted to jump to the next paragraph before completing the one before!

I will be frank with you, @whymonkey, You are a very good writer, very good at description, very good at scene set up, and very good at building up suspense.

Now what will happen to the Friar? Will he be thrown over board? And speaking of what might happen, where is Salvador? You make no mention of him!

Can you imagine i have not read the first part but i almost feel like i have the whole story deep inside me now? lol....but no way, i am running over to the first part now...

Meanwhile, i do a personal curation, where i identify quality content, and by this i mean content that demonstrates originality, depth and relevance. Once i identify them, i feature them on a daily posts called Xpose Curator's Rebound. You can read more about it on this Re-introduce post.

Your post here meets all of the selection criteria. So i am going to feature on today's edition. My hope is to give your quality work here exposure. I hope it leads to it getting noticed and deservedly rewarded.
