Originally published in Whispers From The Cotton Tree Root, (October, 2000)
A waterspout spawned by a recent hurricane sucks up an ancient wooden slave ship from the silted bottom of a Caribbean harbor. And an astounded man with Caribbean roots watches as people begin to restore it. They invite him to come along on a journey that may well change everything for him, including reality itself.
