3 May, 2025, @marianwest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2725: waterfall of silver coins

in Freewriters15 days ago

Hello guys am back. Finally done with my exams and I'm looking forward to posting more often for now 🤗🤗

"But captain, we've sailed the seven seas and never once have we laid eyes on such a thing," me matey argued. "So why believe in these tales of myth?"

The captain scowled, studyin' the tattered map in his hands. "It says here that every 10 years, on the 3rd day of the 5th month, at the stroke of midnight, an island appears at the far end of the Mediterranean Sea. And I've heard tell that within this here island lies a waterfall of silver coins, just waitin' for us to claim it."

The crew exchanged skeptical glances, but the captain's enthusiasm was infectious. It was exactly 10 years since the phenomenon last occurred, and we'd been sailin' for months, waitin' for this very day. Suddenly, one of the crew mates let out a loud whoop. "Well, kick me boots!" he exclaimed.

The crew rushed to gather 'round him, curious about what had caught his eye. And then we saw it – a tiny speck on the horizon, growin' larger with each passin' moment. The captain's eyes lit up like a lantern in the dark. "Aye, mateys, it seems we've found the island!"

After years of waitin' and searchin', we finally set foot on the island's sandy shores. It didn't take us long to find the waterfall, cascade-in' down a rocky cliff like a shimmerin' veil. And there, at the base of the falls, lay a treasure trove of silver coins, glintin' in the sunlight. The captain let out a triumphant roar, and we set to work, fillin' our pockets and bags with the glitterin' loot. We'd done it, mateys – we'd found the treasure of legend!
