Once upon a time there was a young girl who lived in a small village near the sea. One day she decided to go for a midnight walk along the beach. Suddenly she became aware that someone was following her.....

out of the cave’s entrance poured a black stream of Australian fruit bats who were her ancestors. Condemned to live out their lives in a dark smelly cave by a curse in revenge for the sinking of ‘The Buxom Wench’ from a witch who was the fisherman’s GreatGrandmother, the bats squeaked and flapped around the fisherman. Waving his arms around his head, he failed to notice the figure creeping towards Jeanie intent on...

plundering and scuttling his Great Grandfather's ship, 'The Buxom Wench'. Anger and the burning desire for revenge flooded through him. With a nod to the nautical and as quick as a wink, he grabbed Jeannie in a half-Nelson and with his free hand reached for a barnacle encrusted rope. After tying her up he would........................

she was a descendant of a family of notorious cut-throats and murderers with a curse hanging over their heads. She turned to the fisherman who was now frowning at her. He had been reading over her shoulder and realised that her ancestors were responsible for ...

was a model ship, called The Billy O’ Tea, in a rum bottle, bags of sugar and tea, a couple of bottles of rum and a bag of gold coins. Trying to avoid looking at the girded loins of the handsome fisherman, Jeanie rummaged through the items in the box and found at the bottom a tightly rolled piece of parchment covered in writing. Carefully taking it out of the box, she blew the dust off it with puckered lips that stirred a memory deep in the recesses of the fisherman’s addled brain. She gingerly unrolled the parchment and read, with mounting fear and surprise that...

They hauled it out but struggled to open it as the fastening was badly rusted. The handsome fisherman girded his loins and gave the corner a heave. It sprung open and inside ...

...but stumbled on something almost hidden under the sand of the beach. Pausing to rub her injured foot and utter a few somewhat unladylike phrases, she realised that the item was the corner of an old box. "Hey, gorgeous!" she called to the handsome fisherman, "Could you come and give me a hand with this?"

began to fly along side Jeanie. It seemed to be encouraging her to follow. Suddenly she came upon stone steps which led out of the cave. There above her was the handsome fisherman, still singing the sea shanty, Wellerman. Jeanie ran towards him....

ran into one of the caves at the edge of the beach. She went deep inside the cave which suddenly opened out into a large cavern. She could see light coming from the roof and bats flitting around uttering high pitched squeaks. “ My goodness,”she cried “ they are Australian fruit bats. How did they get here?” Just then a very large bat ...

A gang of cut-throat pirates - some with eye patches, ear-rings and long flowing dreadlocks a la Jack Sparrow- were eagerly rummaging through the cargo while the fisherman stood swaying, clutching a bottle of rum and grimacing at the smell wafting up from the whale. Suddenly one of the more savage looking pirates looked up and saw Jeannie on the cliff path. “Look at that beauty!” he yelled and led the disreputable rabble in a charge up the beach towards the horrified Jeannie who...

A shipwreck, a beached whale and a cargo of sugar, tea and rum. The latter being scattered on the beach. No wonder the handsome fisherman was singing Wellerman!!

Elrel Thu 04-Feb-21 17:45:10

But as she approached the village she became aware of a stronger smell of fish than she remembered. Loud splashing was coming from the beach below her path and someone was singing Wellerman at the top of their voice. She slipped quietly down the cliff path and was amazed at the sight she saw.

Then, she remembered: the old man with the lantern, who had reminded her of her grandfather, until he tried to return her credit card, and her instinctive high kick in self-defence had left him for dead! Or were they two separate people? She'd never been quite certain, as it had been such a blur of darkness and atavistic fear, but now she could leave that problem behind her, and go off....

Thanks, Aldom, for rescuing me from getting banned by HQ for obscenity. Got carried away there for a moment!!

But, Jeanie got into a terrible panic. What with all the trauma of these peculiar events, she'd completely forgotten about the old man. Who the heck was he now?

The undercover detective who used to be the tractor driver at the farm. He arrested Lydia Lett, who is an imposter. He spoke quietly with Jeanie, telling her that the old man was still alive, therefore she was a free woman.

...poor Jeannie, who was still aghast at her black-haired Prince's sudden betrayal. "I preferred you as a horse, you unspeakable scumbag!" she cried, kicking his muscular posterior. Rushing towards Detective Lydia Letts, who had now remembered her gender, Jeannie rummaged in her pocket and handed her a small...

tossing his mane of glorious black hair, the Prince grabbed hold of the bridesmaid and tossed her onto the tractor. Before anyone could move, however, a figure emerged from the shadows. “You don’t get rid of me that easily!” said Detective Letts as she/he moved towards...
