FOLLOWING ORDERS (a 55-word story)
Nobody spoke when we tied him up.
No point; we couldn’t hear.
We felt uncomfortable about it, but we were following his orders.
Soon, the Captain began shouting, moving his head from side to side, like a drunk.
Sailing past a beach, we saw them and held our breath…
…they lay sunbathing while singing.
Sirens!
