Captain Arty Arbuckle gazed over the U.S.S stargazer at the clouds in the quiet sky. His crew scuddled around to do chores, preparing to start the air balloon sails. As the ship began moving, he noticed Captain Kraus of the pirate league was coming.

“Start the sails; we are under attack,” yelled Arty.

As the men scrambled to their weapons. Shots were exchanged, but the advantage was not theirs. Just as defeat seemed to be coming, Captain Archie Arbuckle, a separatist pirate, comes to help.

He smiled at his nephew, Arty, “I will let you off this one time.”

I enjoy writing for fun. I like to write for several genres including fantasy, poetry, and dystopian, but I am open to trying other genres too. It has been a source of stress relief from my busy life.
