Gulliver's Travels

My name is Melina Sanjino and I'm a Liliputan, though I wasn't born one. I was originally born and raised in Raviras, Blefuscu. Raviras was a small town on a fishing port. My father was a fisherman and my mother was a seamstress and our family wasn't rich, but they made enough money for us to survivie on. When the civil war between the aristocracy and the plebeans began, I left with my uncle's family. I didn't want to leave my parents and my twin brother, Adam behind, but I had to we had to survive. Eventually I got used to living in Liliput and went to school like normal children do. Every day, my uncle reminds us, that we're lucky.

"I know." I said.

Every time I heard him say that, I know it was true. There's something I will tell you that no one knows. When I was four years old, I developed psychic abilities that enabled me to see through a person. I kept those under wraps until I was 18. I got married to my husband, Vicos Mariner and had a daughter named, Sydney. After five years, we were in a custody battle the minute after he was found cheating on me and we divorced. When the weeks of the custody battle ended, I gained custody of my daughter and Vicos was denied visitation rights. That is when I decided to start over fresh and leave Mildendo for good. On a rainy day, my daughter, Sydney and I were heading to Macaros for a fresh start. As we slept, we heard the conductor voice on the train.

"Attention ladies and gentlemen." the conductor said. "In a few hours, we'll arrive in Macaros. We hope you enjoy riding with us on Liliputan Railways."

Sydney turned to me and held on to her teddy bear, I bought her for her fourth birthday and hugged it.

"Sydney." I said. "We're almost here."

"I know." Sydney said.

After we arrived in Macaros, we left the train station and headed towards our new house which took two minutes. As we settled in, there were shouts of sorts.
"Mom." Sydney said. "What's going on?"

"I don't know." I said.

I managed to pull someone hand and took him to our house. Once there Sydney and I closed off the curtains, barricaded the windows, and locked the doors. Once we did that, I took out some candles and lit them. After that, I opened the refridgerator and pulled out some milk. I pulled out three glasses and poured it into each cup. Once I did that, I put the milk away and served one of the glasses to the man before giving it to my daughter and I sat down.

"So." I said. "What is all the fuss about?"

The man didn't answer me, but pulled out the curtain to see what looks like a man, but much bigger than we ever seen. As Sydney and I tried to keep our cool by drinking our milk.

"We have a giant here in Liliput." he said.

"What?" I said. "How?"

"He just washed ashore here." The man continued. "The emperor has ordered the men to hive him tied down."

As the people outside were pulling him in, via cart and horses, we had an even closer view of him. He was easily 200 feet tall and his shirt was torn off completely, affording us a view of his nicely toned chest and his arms. His jeans looked tattered and his sneakers had holes in them. I looked over to his face and he was asleep. It was well defined and handsome. His hair was dark brown and short. I wished I could see what kind of color are his eyes. Now bear in mind that I've learned about the whole story of Gulliver's arrival to Liliput and the war between the two nations, I won't divulge into the rest. As Sydney looked out, she looked at him with a combination of fear and curiousity in her eyes. As soon as the men left, the guards did a search on him, unaware that he was about to wake up.
