The storm raged on, the waves getting larger. The slave woke with silent screams of terror and nearly threw himself out of the boat before I grabbed him. It took me several minutes to calm him while he thrashed about, fighting ghosts.

When, at last, he was calm, I released him to stand. The aft of the boat was taking on too much water, and more hands were needed to clear it out so we didn’t capsize. The slave latched onto my arm and looked up at me, terror in his eyes.

“I have to go,” I shouted over the roar of waves and growl of thunder. “Stay down. You’ll be fine.”

Just as I tore away from him, a massive wave slammed into the boat, rocking it hard and knocking me to the side. My ankles hit the edge. Ocean rose to meet me, but I didn’t plunge in. Some brave soul caught me by the hair.

I turned and found it was the slave holding onto me, wide eyed, a fistful of my braids in his grip. He shouldn’t have caught me. He should have let me go overboard after all I’d done to him. Let me drown. Was it fear that made him reach out to catch me? Mercy?

Whatever had made him do it, it was over now. I righted myself carefully. Slowly, he released me. I sank back into the fore of the boat with him. It was unwise to tempt fate twice in one day.
