The Shipwrecked Pirate and the Time Traveller

The lonely pirate Brown Eyed Jack is the only survivor after the hurricane. Shipwrecked as he is, he has survived on a raft he built from the floating remains of The Black Eagle. He has managed to save his treasure and he is looking for a place to bury it. He is trying to catch a fish, but he only has a big ruby to use for bait. Brown Eyed Jack is so hungry and thirsty that he doesn’t even notice the small island, his raft is nearing. He doesn’t notice the mermaid trying to lure him in either! Had he noticed the island, he would have seen that he is not the first pirate seeking shelter here. But unfortunately for the first pirate that didn’t end well.

At that exact moment the time traveller Alicia Tempus is arriving from the future. She is a cryptozoologist planning to study the mermaids that legends tell live in the ocean around the little island.
