Flipside #2

And here it! Yes, you (probably) guessed it! This is Rayhaan's new series of stories! The Flipside. And he's been pretty quick to submit these too. Remember to say Thank You to him. And I'm pleased to announce, they are going to be pretty good. They're full of irony and suspense and give quick read entertainment to you, and can be understood by anyone with a brain. (Sorry if you're offended! ;-)) Anyway, if you seen the title of this blog, you'd notice it says Flipside #2. Why? Here's the explanation: the Closed Door is actually Flipside #1. I guess it makes sense. So, I'm going stop babbling on here, and I'm going to present you with the story! Enjoy, comment, like, share!!

The Flipside #2

  

 It must have been midnight when the Captain sighted the rig. He was tired, and his crew on The Triumph had lost faith. They had planned to sight this oil rig 10 days ago, and had grown worried. “I see it!” he yelled, as the crew came into the room, excited. The crew members had been in the adjacent cabin, murmuring their dark intentions. One of them, Kane, was an experienced sailor, and was orchestrating something very… ‘Evil’. Nobody knew much about Kane, besides his experiences on other oil tankers.

“Looks like the ol’ Captain’s found the rig”, muttered Kane.

“Yep. Guess Jim was too chicken to burn the maps.” said Joseph, who was one Kane’s partners. 

     As the tanker docked at the oil rig, the crew followed the Captain to the rooms they were staying in. Hours passed and nobody had seen Kane. Then, as the captain was on the phone with his kids, an explosion erupted from somewhere within the oil rig. Instinct causes his eyes to close. There was fire, and the captain could hear the screams of his crew. It was disastrous. Wait. The captain could hear them, but shouldn’t he be dead? As he opens his eyes, he realizes he’s on top of a smokestack. How on earth did he get there? Clinging to its edge, he stands up on the edge and looks down at the flames surrounding the ring. He can’t believe his eyes. His eyes widen in shock as he sees the crew, burning, screaming. They had all planned a mutiny against the captain, under Kane. But now they were burning. Suddenly the Captain sees Kane, no longer in the earthly human form. He had been reduced to bones, and was crawling up the smokestack, screaming a language undecipherable by human ears. Smiling, Kane reaches the Captain and knocks him off into the ocean. Kane had got what he wanted, and as he stood victorious, the rig sunk into the sea.
