The Conjured Poet ......Ends Here

Finn had never fancied some situation to be like this. He tried to speak, cleared his throat but could muster anything as there was not much for him to say. All he could manage was to give her an affirmative nod in reply.

That night Fin was sitting with May and Tim in their hut around a kerosene lamp. While eating they talked bout how they felt seeing each other when unacquainted. Finn asked Mary about Tim’s disappearance from the port and how do they manage their chorus after that.

They talked for hours together and Finn got stuck when Mary narrated him the way they landed on the island. She saw in his eyes when he heard this with amazed ready to spill eyes. Mary felt much quizzed about this and could not stop before asking him, what in the whole episode of ship wreck made him so troubled.

Finn could not control himself over her inquisition and told her about his son who was on the ship that night among the crew. His son was the ship cook who also went down with the ship. Mary could remember now the cheerful and obedient cook who gave candies and honey from the kitchen store. Being reminded of those days they both wept that night.

The next morning slum people saw Finn in the middle of Mary and Tim holding their hands and walk up the shore. After some days Finn left his painful job and opened a small shop selling shell souvenirs made by the children. Mary and Tim got a guardian in Finn and he got his family back. Mary stopped singing in the bars and Finn never wrote again.
