You’ve probably been on a skyship when the sea wind is whipping at your face but not too hard to hurt. If not perhaps when the horizon seems a million miles away but still in reach. Those are things sailors tell you to inspire but don’t they ask: have you ever been on a sky ship when a storm violently rocks you to and fro to make you feel like an insignificant piece of dirt. Or has a bolt of lightning struck your ship from the sky.

Joan sprinted across the deck, she was starting to wish she should have kept with sweeping. BAMM!! Another bolt of hite lightning. The ship lurched; They had now lost sense of direction by far, fog swept over the decks devouring everything in its path. Out of the blue, she saw torches and heard voices, she stared, then her instincts kicked in and she was sprinting towards the light. 

Just then another bolt of lightning struck the planks in front and Joan nearly fell through. She took a slight detour through the cabins but felt the door at the end was locked. She carefully retraced her steps but met fire. Then she grabbed a plank lit the end and threw it at the door. It instantly burst into flames. Joan seized the opportunity and ran head first screaming.

Next thing she felt the warm daylight on her cheeks; she was safe.
