Time of death - 4:37 p.m. That's what the pocket watch will say when it craters at the bottom of the Santana River. She said I had to keep it in my pocket so I never forgot to make tike for her. Little did I know she had none left to give me. This is where we met. Seems fitting to end it here.
Maybe we'll both sink into the miry clay til finger kisses fingertip, and be joined in a way we never managed above this rickety, old, romantic harbor.

The sailor held the toddler and checked his pocket watch. It was time to set sail. He carried her gently aboard, locked her in the cabin with a tall jar of candies, and went to present himself to the captain. it wasn't so bad, really. Sailors had been known to sneak worse things aboard than someone else's little sister. Then again, none of those worse things had started to howl when the ship left harbor.
