Prompt: Write a story which includes the words, ‘… I was convinced I was right …’.

Essay:
Amid the cacophony of a storm that could tear the world asunder, my conviction stood as the only beacon against the relentless tempest. The ship, a mere speck against the fury of the ocean’s might, seemed to dance on the edge of oblivion. Yet within this chaos, my heart held firm to a singular belief: I was convinced I was right.

This voyage began as a dream, whispered in the shadows of old pubs and scribbled across ancient maps. As captain, I promised glory and riches to those daring enough to chase the horizon with me. Skepticism brewed as provisions thinned and the sea turned traitor, but my resolve never wavered.
