Davy and the Pirate Ship Adventure

By R.H. Proenza

Davy is an avid reader and likes to devour as many adventure books as he can find, especially Pirate stories. His bookshelves on the bedroom walls are loaded to the breaking point with a huge library. In fact, the weight of his collection pulls down the shelves and they all come crashing down on top of Davy's head. At once, he finds himself onboard a pirate ship, waking up from a nap and not knowing how he got there. He seems to be the captain of his own ship...Wait, WHAT?... as he hears himself bark out orders to his crew, but how does he know how to run a ship? What happened to his bedroom? Where's his bed? How can this be?

R.H. Proenza

I am a retired Dentist and enjoy writing as a hobby─I write for the creative FUN of writing. Other hobbies include playing the clarinet, Soprano sax and Bongos, oil painting, photography, and graphite drawing. Story ideas may occur to me spontaneously, or just by looking at a picture when it evokes a story line in my mind, and I use it as a 'seed' to grow the story.I'm a 'romantic' at heart. Love runs deep in me, and have published several romances as a result (and usually fall in LOVE with my female protagonist) mixed in with some adventure stories, and stories for Young Adults.I have done a few things in my life to include, Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Mountain Rappelling Instructor, clinical lab tech, read books on Sci and romances, and hold a license as a Ham Radio operator---all of which I assume, add to the repository from which I draw some of my story ideas. I grew up reading Mad Magazine which, I’m sure, affected (distorted?) my sense of humor as well as my perspective on life. I enjoy humor, and like to laugh.I'm am most assuredly an untrained amateur but nevertheless have published five small books on Amazon and twelve on Smashbooks.com under the name of R.H. Proenza if for nothing else but my ego. I live in Georgia with my wife Sandy, a computer or two, and no pets.

Davy and the Pirate Ship Adventure

Grace A. Johnson: Hey, I love the tiny pirate ship you built. Why don’t you write a story about it?

Part I

WUMP! The boy wacked his book closed with a loud thud like he did every time. Aaaaaahhhhh. Davy Bowen let out a long satisfied sigh as if he had just finished eating a big juicy cheeseburger with cheesy fries─heavy on the cheese─and plopped back on his bed with a big grin, his head still full of the images from the story he just read.

He always did this when he successfully finished reading a book. He knew he was a bookworm, but his book collection kept his active imagination well-fed. Yes-sir-ree; that was a satisfying story, Silvey, he declared to Long John Silver,
