Captain Franklin Chronicles 1 - Shipwrecked and drifting




Day 52, we are still adrift in this sea of uncertainty. Supplies are running increasingly low, morale is at its lowest. Bosom Mate Evenson and I are the only survivors of the sinking of our great ship, The Palermo. 


We had a junior ranking officer with us at first, Pionus First Class Cora Jane alas she did not make it. Snatched from us by some sea monster, she is remembered and will forever be missed, she fought gallantly let it be said.

I must confess the entries have been interspersed more and more as of late, what can be added to a sunken ship’s log when all that we see upon the horizon on all bearings is but a desolate sea with nary a soul or a ship in sight? If this journal doth make it in someone’s hands I wish them to know a dream I had recently. I had this vision of a tiny square with tiny fans inside it, all powered using Magnets. Sparks were coming out of it and it was able to produce light, I called it Energon. I am hoping this little dream of mine might someday induce a spark in some clever inventor’s imagination.
