Drabble: 'Chuffed'

[dwgm]

A hundred words of DMC Jack for the current drabble challenge at blackpearlsails...



~ Chuffed ~

One hundred souls. Three days.

Jones’ words bounced through Jack’s skull as the Pearl skipped along.

Cruelly inflated, of course. Ridiculously grandiose. A hundred souls. To compensate for the loss of his one? Utterly absurd.

And yet… there was this niggling sense of gratification.

One hundred souls.

Well, he was Captain Jack Sparrow.

Of course, there was that sticky business with Bill's lad. All rather complicated, these dealings with Turner. Turners. Though he’d meant well. Mostly.

But with a bit of luck, Will would manage. Family reunion. Key. Escape. All in a day's work.

He'd wager his soul on it.

Well, of course there would be. Jack wouldn't be Jack if he wasn't just a little bit gratified that Jones thought his soul equal to 100 others! And still looking on the bright-side too... off on his own little world! ;)

Great drabble. I think you captured Jack's thoughts perfectly. :)

Nothing like thinking positive!

Glad you enjoyed it!
