The mystery of Number I

He escaped the guards and ended up in a train heading for Greece. This was the second time he was escaping them today. When the train arrived at the station, he got off the train and entered a taxi. -”Where shall I take you?” asked the cab driver in his heavy, Greek accent. -”To a hotel please. As far away from here as possible!” And the cab driver took him to a hotel in Kineta. Beautiful place with beautiful beaches and even more beautiful women. He paid the taxi driver and entered the hotel. The hotel had a bar in it as well, and the man went there and ordered a drink. As he was observing the place, he saw a blonde woman sitting a couple of stools away. He told the bartender that the woman’s drinks were on him. However, when he was about to approach the woman to talk to her, the bartender knocked him out unconscious. The woman smiled. -”Good job, Michael! Now we really got him!” The man woke up a couple of hours later with a terrible headache. “Where am I?” He thought. “You’re in my...

The Red File

It was a dark, rainy night. With his intimidating dark costume, black tie and black fedora, he put the silencer onto the pistol while hiding behind a very large crate. He peeked and saw that the guards were still there. He had no choice but to neutralize them. He got up, aimed his gun and he didn’t miss, both had fallen dead with only a difference of 1 second between their deaths. He moved to the second floor and saw two more guards. He distracted them by throwing a coin and moved past them. He moved on to the third floor. Floor after floor, step after step, he eventually made it to the control room. He wasted no time, he placed the explosives and set the timer to 5 minutes. He ran out of there as fast as he could while avoiding the guards. However, he saw something on a desk: A weird, red file. He took it. Once he got out and far enough, he looked at the building, which exploded and caught on fire. After the mission had been accomplished. He flew by plane back to London. The next day...

Our Voyage

I have recently been asked to write about my experiences at that accursed island. And so, though writing this memoir, I travel back to a simpler time, when I was running “The Tavern” back in the United States of America along with my dear Olive. What beautiful memories that nobody and nothing, not even what followed, could take them away. I still remember how we built it: My father and mother, approximately two years before they died, had finally gathered enough funds to open their own business. But they hadn’t decided yet what it should be. Initially we thought of opening a small Inn, but we decided on a tavern instead. It was me that suggested the name, and thus we simply called it “The Tavern.” The reasoning behind that simplistic title was personal to me: When I was a kid, my parents often took me to a business with that same name. I knew its owner, who loved me like I was a child of his own. But maybe I went off-track here. Back to the main events: It was a stormy night and we ba...

The Dead Man's Skull: Endgame

Suddenly, he woke up from his sleep. The skull had been taken, and he needed to take it back. He got up and awoke the other evil spirits of his crew as well. Blackbeard was ready for his revenge. Comrade Monke was sleeping. He suddenly was woken up by a phone call. It was the “Chief”. He had been notified of an explosion in Stalingrad. Monke was told to go investigate the explosion. He got up, fed his pet domestic canary, prayed a rosary, got dressed and quickly got in his car. He drove all the way to Stalingrad. When he arrived, there was chaos all over the area. He got out of his car. And walked to a burning building. When observing it, he suddenly saw a flash inside the building, and a skeleton walking through the flames. Monke freaked out. He quickly got back in his car and drove away. He arrived at the Kremlin, where the office of the Soviet Secret Service was. He entered the office, was welcomed by Miss Anastasia and burst into the “Chief’s” office. He quickly explained to him w...

The Dead Man's Skull: Blackbeard

“I am going to die!” he shouted, and before he could complete his sentence, he had fallen to the floor, dead. The others were terrified and were hiding. When he came through the door, one of them passed out, falling to the floor and alerting him of their presence. He lit his long, black beard on fire. He walked slowly to a barrel one of the sailors were hiding in, and he stabbed it to the point blood was coming out of all its sides. -”NO. Please! Don’t kill me.” One of the others shouted. He walked to the spot he was hiding in and he grabbed him by the neck. -”Then tell me where it is…” -”Where is what?” -”THE SKULL! WHERE IS IT?” -”It’s in Port Royal… Inside the Governor’s mansion.” -”LELOS! GET THE OTHERS, WE ARE LEAVING FOR PORT ROYAL.” -”Now keep your end of the bargain.” -”What bargain?” -”Let us go!” -”I made no such bargain, boy!” He then choked the sailor to death. Lelos the canary, a trusted crewmember of Blackbeard, was in front of this. He freaked out, but he had to be obed...

The Dead Man's Skull: Lelos and Long John

The night spread throughout Port Royal. The tavern was full of scumbags, thieves, murderers and pirates. They were all singing loudly: “15 men on a dead man’s chest! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!” Amongst them were some of the most famous buccaneers of the seven seas: Anne Bonney, John Rackham, Black Sam Bellamy and others. But the most notorious of them all was John Silver, better known as “Long” John Silver. A few months ago, he had just escaped from the hands of the Royal Navy and Captain Smollett, along with his female parrot “Captain Flint.” Silver stepped up, walking with his crutch towards one of the other pirates. He said hi, then punched him. -”What the hell, Silver!” -”I know you know where my wife is, and i am going to torture you until you tell me!” -”I don’t know Long John, I promise!” -”Yeah right… Jack, Pepe, pick him up and tie him to that bed upstairs!” After they had obeyed his command and done ...

The Dead Man's Skull: Comrade Monke

He lit a cigar and stood in front of the large desk, as if he had all the time in the world. He analyzed it and figured out everything. One wrong move and the world would be blown to bits. He walked up to it, took out his Makarov pistol, and shot the green button. This triggered the alarm and the self-destruction countdown, but the nuke control system had been destroyed and deactivated. Guards entered from left and right. He hid behind the desk and a gun battle followed. He shot a couple of them down, but he ran out of bullets. He hid his gun and saw a window, he ran towards it and jumped out of it, breaking it. He landed deep in the water, but he swam to the surface. The place was falling apart! He swam back down and kept swimming until he saw a sloop yacht. He climbed onto it and the woman on it freaked out. -”You’re… a monkey. A God-damn monkey!” she shouted. -”Delighted to meet you too… The name’s Monke… Comrade Monke.” -”Oh my God… I think I am gonna pass out.” -”Don’t! Not yet, ...
