Somewhere in the Atlantic

“Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round,” Sebastian called out to the other passengers. “You will now witness the amazing illusions of Sebastian the Magnificent and Jacob the Great.”

The crowd that had gathered clapped lazily.

Sebastian thought that it would be a good idea to increase the morale after the storm’s threat. Possibly, if pleased with his abilities, they would provide some word-of-mouth once they reached shore. “You will now witness the astonishing illusion, ‘Boy on the Mast.’ ” Sebastian waved his hands with flair and covered Jacob with a blanket. The audience could see him twitching underneath it.

Sonya ran her fingers across her neck. After some moments, Sebastian snatched back the tarp, and there was nothing there. Sonya gasped. “Jacob? Jacob? My son!” She spun around the deck, then stopped on Sebastian. Who was this man? She knew nothing about him. Had she been foolish enough to let him use her boy in his dark experiments? The other passengers picked up on her fear. “Jacob,” they called out. “Don’t worry—we’ll find him.”

“Everyone, there is no need to worry,” said Sebastian. “Jacob is still with us.”

“What have you done with my son?”

“He is with us, but above us. Behold.”

From the top mast, Jacob waved. “Here I am.”

The other passengers gasped—then clapped.

“Get him down from there.” She grabbed Sebastian’s collar. “Now.”

“He’s fine, be assured.” Sebastian grabbed her wrists, looked into her eyes. “He’s fine. I promise you. I’d never do anything to hurt him, or to you.”

Jacob shimmied down the rope with the agility of an acrobat. “Did you like the trick, Mamma?”

Sebastian let go of her wrists. She grabbed Jacob. “Yes, you are truly great.”
