dwgmWell, my birthday is coming up, and Mother's Day and WE ARE NOT GOING TO LAS VEGAS. grrrrrr... However, my Kimi will come lay by the pool and catch some rays with me on Sunday, which will be delightful. Amorette is too busy frying her brain and twitching to join us. poor baby
The theme for this week's drabble challenge over at the MSN Black Pearl Scrolls group is "Guilt". How extremely angsty. But I managed to come up with 100 angsty words anyway. And it gives me an excuse to use my new icon (pic gacked from Inkbug over at Jics, her picspam journal). (One of these days I'm going to have to learn how to make links out of usernames. Guess I'm not as techno-savvy as I like to think I am.)
~ Guilty ~
There had always been the chance it would end like this. He’d made his choice, years ago, and had few regrets. Sweet Trade. Free Man. Pirate.
He listened with some amusement as the charges were read aloud, some entirely false, some grossly exaggerated. But even the least of those that were true was enough to warrant punishment under the law. And taken all together…well, that was why he was standing here, wasn’t it?
Condemned. For a lifetime of wickedness. And no deed was good enough to remove the guilt of that. Or to merit mercy from anyone, except God. Perhaps.
