Fiction: Imaginative disorder (Desorden imaginativo) [EN/ES]
Imaginative disorder
“Boarding my saltwater rats, we must capture the ship and steal all its treasures, we will be richer than the kings of Spain. Arg.” I encourage my pirates for the new assault.
The blue sea lies calm and the sun hides shyly on the horizon, saying goodbye with a beautiful orange tone. The ship, 'La Maria' is 5 leagues away from us. I order my pirates to be ready for the cannons. “Come on my sea rats that glory and fortune smile on the knaves of the sea.”
The sails are unfurled at my command to catch up with the boat. No ship in the Caribbean can exceed the speed of the 'Calavera.' The sea breeze is charged with overwhelming tension, and my comrades are attentive to the order from my mouth.
The galleon intends to escape my clutches, but it will not succeed. The ship's fate is written, and I am the executioner who claims the reward, arg. “Boatswain, ready cannons and ready the ropes. Let none of you flinch.
The sea begins to roughen, foreshadowing the great battle between the two ships. The pirate flag dances to the rhythm of the sea breeze, and the skull smiles waiting for the great fight for the most coveted treasure in the Caribbean. My heart beats like a wild horse, and with a sip of rum, I try to calm the anxieties that seize me.
The leagues are no longer an obstacle for the Calavera to have the boat in his sights. “Comrades, signal fire on my command.” The Calavera positions itself next to the ship, and after a few microseconds, “Fire!” I shout with all the adrenaline that runs through my body.
The fire of the cannons flashes several tongues offshore, everything becomes chaos, and the ships suffer the onslaught of explosions. “Comrades, to combat!”.
After several hours of fighting, we take the ship, arg. We have won and now we are going to reclaim what is ours. Inside the hold, the coins shine like the sun itself. “My companions, great booty we have won. The sea has rewarded us with fortune, load the treasure, and let's set sail from here, the good life awaits us.”
The ship is semi-destroyed, and we leave the prisoners adrift, let the sea dictate their fate by its hand. “Set sail, dear saltwater rats. Let us go to the nearest port, to spend what we have earned in the confrontation.”
The Calavera takes us towards the horizon where the starry sky shines brightly, accompanying us in our sailing while the songs and rum become part of our great victory. We sing and dance to the swaying of the sea.
As the sun rises, I gather the pirates. “Comrades, we are close to our destination, each one will receive a part of the treasure, and the rest we will keep to bury it in the farthest island of these Caribbean waters. Arg.”
After days, we arrived at a good port, and we spent the gold won in battle on everything we could buy, my fellow pirates lived a life of luxury and excess, some were lost, and we never saw them again, that's the pirates' life, crazy and fleeting.
After a few weeks, we left on the Calavera. The sea welcomes us back into its domain like a good mother welcomes an ungrateful son. We searched for the island farthest from civilization to find the rest of the treasure and leave it there for a while.
After many days of sailing, we entered the dark waters of the east, it is said that the Kraken lives there. I don't believe in hearsay or superstitious people's tales. With the helm, I guide the Calavera through this unexplored region. After advancing a few tongues we come across a strange stone formation.
A giant arch appears on the horizon, creating a passage through which we will pass to the other side. Some of my companions reflect in their faces an inexplicable terror, we continue navigating through that passage and achieve the other side without major setbacks.
The sunlight reappears, and a tense calm floats over the ship, a mist appears out of nowhere and surrounds the boat. A sepulchral silence takes over the Calavera, and the eyes of my pirates move from one side to the other quickly, perhaps wanting to scrutinize the secret of that silent fog.
“Companions, don't worry, this is just a natural phenomenon that will pass soon.” The pirates listen carefully to my words, and they calm down.
At that instant, a tentacle surrounds the Calavera making it move from one side to the other, pirates run on deck, and cries without consolation go unnoticed. I must take action to rescue my beloved ship from disaster.
“Calm down, sea rats, ready the guns to start firing on the beast, now.” The fight becomes fierce and more tentacles begin to appear, the pirates fight relentlessly against the beast. After a few hours, we defeat the beast. “Full sail, mates we must escape from here, arg.”
We return the way we came, and the rock arch disappears behind us. The sighs of the pirates flood the sea breeze, and restfulness is felt knowing we are safe. The Calavera has some heavy damage, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. We all threw ourselves on the deck of the ship to rest.
At that instant the Kraken appears out of nowhere and pounces on us, a shrill screech shatters eardrums and cries of despair are hurled into the salty breeze, it is our end. I cover my eyes waiting for the worst....
“No, no, no, leave me horrible Kraken!”
“Kraken? Again with your great imagination, what a child! And look at all this mess, young man. Clothes on one side and the other, garbage from your junk food, blankets on the floor, pillows that make an arch, toys all over the floor. Young man, if you want to eat your dinner, you need to clean up this apocalypse you have in your room. You heard me,” the angry mother says to Rusty.
“But, Mom, I'm playing pirates...,” Rusty cries out to his mother for her benevolence.
“I want to see this room sparkling, Mr. Pirate, no buts.” Rusty's mother storms out of the room.
“My mother is worse than that horrible Kraken, haha...”
The end
Desorden imaginativo
«Al abordaje mis ratas de agua salada, debemos capturar el galeón y robar todos sus tesoros, seremos más ricos que los reyes de España. Arg». Animo a mis piratas para el nuevo asalto.
El mar azul yace tranquilo y el sol se esconde tímido en el horizonte, despidiéndose con un bello tono anaranjado. El galeón "La María" se encuentra a 5 leguas de nosotros. Ordeno a mis piratas preparar los cañones «Vamos mis ratas marinas que la gloria y la fortuna sonríen a los bellacos de la mar».
Las velas se despliegan a mi orden para alcanzar al galeón, ningún navío del caribe puede superar la velocidad del "Calavera". La brisa marina se carga con una tensión abrumadora y mis camaradas están atentos a la orden de mi boca.
El galeón pretende escapar de mis garras, pero no lo va a conseguir. El destino del navío esta echado a la suerte y yo seré el verdugo que reclamé la recompensa, arg. «Contramaestre, preparen cañones y alisten las cuerdas. Que ninguno se acobarde».
El mar se empieza a encrespar augurando la gran batalla que se avecina entre los dos navíos. La bandera pirata baila al ritmo de la brisa marina, y la calavera sonríe esperando la gran batalla por el tesoro más codiciado del caribe. Mi corazón late como un caballo salvaje y con un trago de ron busco calmar las ansias que me embargan.
Las leguas ya no son obstáculo para que el Calavera tenga en la mira al galeón. «Compañeros, señal de fuego a mi orden». El Calavera se posiciona a lado del Galeón y luego de unos micro segundos, «!Fuego!», grite con toda la adrenalina que recorre mi cuerpo.
El fuego de los cañones destella a varias lenguas mar a dentro, todo se vuelve un caos y los navíos sufren el embate de las explosiones. «¡Compañeros, al combate!».
Luego de varias horas de pelea, el galeón es tomado por nosotros, arg. Hemos ganado y ahora vamos a reclamar lo que es nuestro. Dentro de la bodega las monedas brillan como el sol mismo. «Mis compañeros, gran botín hemos conseguido. El mar nos ha premiado con la fortuna, carguen todo y zarpemos de aquí que la buena vida nos espera».
El galeón queda semi destruido y dejamos a los prisioneros a la deriva, que sea el mar quien por mano propia dicte su destino. «Desplieguen velas queridas ratas de agua salada. Vamos hasta el puerto más cercano, para gastar lo ganado en la confrontación».
El Calavera nos lleva hacia el horizonte donde el cielo estrellado brilla con intensidad, acompañándonos en nuestro navegar mientras las canciones y el ron se vuelven parte de nuestra gran victoria. Cantamos y bailamos al vaivén de la mar.
En tanto el sol despunta, yo reúno a los piratas, «Compañeros, estamos cerca de nuestro destino, cada uno recibirá una parte del tesoro y el resto lo guardaremos para enterrarlo en la isla más alejada de estas aguas caribeñas. Arg».
Luego de días, llegamos a buen puerto, gastamos el oro ganado en batalla en todo lo que podemos comprar, mis compañeros piratas se dieron una vida de lujo y excesos, algunos se perdieron y nos los volvimos a ver, así es la vida del pirata, alocada y fugaz.
Después de unas semanas, partimos en el Calavera. El mar nos vuelve a acoger en sus dominios, como una buena madre recibe al hijo ingrato. Buscamos la isla más alejada de la civilización para enterar el resto del tesoro y dejarlo ahí por un tiempo.
Luego de muchos días navegando, entramos a las oscuras aguas del oriente, se dice que el Kraken vive ahí. No creo en habladurías ni en cuentos de gente supersticiosa. Con el timón voy guiando al Calavera por esa región inexplorada. Luego de avanzar algunas lenguas nos encontramos con una formación de piedras muy raras.
Un arco gigante se aparece en el horizonte, creando un pasaje por el cual tenemos que transitar para llegar al otro lado. Algunos de mis compañeros reflejan en sus rostros un terror inexplicable, seguimos navegando por aquel pasaje y llegamos al otro lado sin mayores contratiempos.
La luz del sol vuelve a aparecer y una tensa calma flota en el barco, de la nada aparece una neblina que rodea al barco. Un silencio sepulcral se apodera del Calavera, y los ojos de mis piratas se mueven de un lado al otro de forma rápida, tal vez queriendo escrudiñar el secreto de aquella niebla silente.
«Compañeros, no se preocupen esto tan solo es un fenómeno natural que pasará pronto», mis palabras escuchan atentos los piratas y se calman por un momento.
En ese instante, un tentáculo rodea al Calavera haciéndolo mover de un lado al otro, los piratas corren por la cubierta y gritos sin consuelo salen desapercibidos. Debo tomar acción para rescatar del desastre a mi querido barco.
«Calmados, ratas marinas, alisten los cañones para empezar a disparar contra la bestia, ahora». La lucha se hace fiera y más tentáculos empiezan a aparecer, los piratas luchan sin descanso contra la bestia. Luego de unas horas, vencemos a la bestia. «A toda vela, compañeros debemos escapar de aquí, arg».
Regresamos por donde venimos y el arco de roca desaparece tras de nosotros. Los suspiros de los piratas inundan la brisa marina, un descanso se siente al saber que estamos a salvo. El Calavera tiene algunos daños de consideración, pero no es nada que no se pueda arreglar. Todos nos tiramos en la cubierta del barco para recuperar fuerzas.
En ese instante el Kraken aparece de la nada y se abalanza sobre nosotros, un chillido estridente destroza los tímpanos y los gritos de desesperación son lanzados hacia la brisa salada, es nuestro fin, me tapo los ojos esperando lo peor...
«¡No, no, no, déjame horrible Kraken!».
«¿Kraken? Otra vez con tu gran imaginación. ¡Qué niño! Y mira todo este desorden, jovencito. Ropa por un lado y otro, basura de tu comida chatarra, cobijas en el suelo, almohadas que hacen un arco, juguetes por todo el piso. Jovencito, si quiere cenar debe acomodar este apocalipsis que tiene en su habitación. ¡Me escuchó!», le dice la enojada madre a Rusty
«Pero, mamá, estoy jugando a los piratas...», Rusty clama a su madre por su benevolencia.
«Quiero ver reluciente este cuarto, señor pirata, sin peros». La madre de Rusty sale furiosa de la habitación.
«Mi madre es peor que ese horrible Kraken, jaja...».

This story really got me with the twist ending. I thought it was really happening! But it turned out to be the child. There is very good pacing and action in this story. The imagery is imaginative and fun to read.
I'm glad you mentioned it. When I wrote the story, I did so with that intention, that the reader would immerse themselves in an adventure and at the end find themselves in the imagination of a child.
I really liked your comment, thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Happy day.
I couldn't stop reading the story until the end. Spellbinding from the beginning and I found the ending spectacular. I couldn't imagine it. Excellent work @rinconpoetico7
