Captain Tory
Captain Tory studied Jason, seeing this, Jason walked slowly away on the other side of the docks.
“Hey boy! Come here.” Captain Tory watched as Jason side glanced at him and continued walking. “Come here I say.” His voice was lower and harsher.
“Do I know you..?” Jason hesitantly stopped and faced Captain Tory.
“No, but I want to show you something. Do you want to see it?” Captain Tory grumbled. He moved a lamp back and forth between his hands.
Jason eyed him then looked around.
“Well umm... It’s getting kind of dark... and my mom will wonder where I’m at if I don’t get home soon... yea... that’s... yea.” Jason turned around and hurriedly walked down the dock.
“It’ll only be a second.” Captain Tory yelled after him. Jason jumped and stopped in his tracks. “Come.” He said walking up to Jason. Before Jason could step away Captain Tory grabbed his arm and dragged him to the side of the dock. “Watch the water,” Jason looked at Captain Tory then slowly to the water. “There.” The Captain said, pointing to the middle of an open spot.
“But there’s no-” Jason started but shut up when Captain Tory started to wave his lamp. “What are you doing?” Jason jumped back.
“Just watch the water!” Captain Tory yelled. He went back to waving his lamp, Jason watched the water ready to run down the docks.
“I should-” Jason stopped and rubbed his eyes, “Wow...” a ship had started to appear. “A real ghost ship...” He mumbled under his breathe.
“Yes sir.” Captain Tory smiled.
“But how..?” Jason looked at Captain Tory and then back to the ship.
Captain Tory then he laughed. “And now you’re part of the crew.” He shoved Jason over the docks edge. Jason screamed as Captain Tory laughed. “See you soon, Jason.” Then he started to slowly disappear into thin air.

Student’s Choice Reflection
Please answer all questions in complete, grammatically correct sentences.
1. Explain the process you went through to write this paper. Please be specific.
I had 5 minutes to brainstorm a story from a picture the my English teacher showed us. I got a rough draft while working in class, then took it home and reviewed and edited it.
2. Is this paper narrative, expository, or argumentative? How do you know?
It's a narrative writing prompt. I know this because a narrative can either be something that happened in your life or something you've made up, and this paper is made up.
3. Tell me one thing you learned from writing this paper.
I learned that it's hard to fit a lot of information on one page. Also coming up with an idea from a picture with only a caption is kind of easy.
4. What are you particularly proud of in this paper?
I'm proud of being able to come up with a story in 5 minutes because it usually takes me 5 minutes to come up with an idea.
5. What does this paper show readers about you?
It showed them that I can be creative and that I also like a little bit of horror.
