Exit Fate: Meiko's Interviews

Sally

Meiko: Today I'm talking to Sally, a young sailor from Blackwater. Sally, despite your young age you're already an experienced sailor. For how long have you been sailing?

Sally: How long? All me life! Me father was a sailor, so was me grandfather and me great-grandfather. I've spent more time out on the sea than on dry land.

Meiko: But you still have most of your life ahead of you. Do you want to continue living the way you do now, or do you have any other dreams?

Sally: I'm gonna be sailing fer the rest of me life, that's fer sure. I ain't made for living on the land. But yeah, there be some things I wanna do. Ye see, I do a bit of tradin' here and there, but I'm still young. Folks don't take me seriously enough. When I'm a bit older, I'm gonna get me a bigger ship, find me a real crew, and look fer some serious business.

Meiko: Sounds ambitious. So you're not going to be a pirate like your great- grand father?

Sally: Naw. He got rich, sure, but a few years later they caught and hanged him. I ain't gonna end up like that.
