Another drabble, for the second prompt at the potc_votes drabble challenge...



~ Frozen Moment ~


"He elected to stay behind, to give us a chance."

Gibbs stared at Elizabeth, dumbstruck, in spite of the fact that this wasn't unexpected. Jack's luck had run out, and he was scared, who wouldn't be? But when it came down to brass tacks, he'd do what he had to.

But... Jack! His captain! His friend...

"Go!"

Josh's moment was lost. Elizabeth's voice was hoarse, grim... ah, the poor lass, much as she loved her Will, she had a terrible soft spot for Jack, her pirate stories made real, though maybe not how she'd once dreamed them.

They shoved off, wordless, away from the beautiful Black Pearl, away from Captain Jack Sparrow, and they began to row.

In spite of the bright, warm Caribbean day, Joshamee Gibbs had never felt so cold.

I absolutely agree.

Also with Fried Flamingo, the last line gave me chills too.

Poor Gibbs doesn't suspect at all. Makes you wonder what the scene was like when he learned in the Locker just HOW Jack had died...Also makes you wonder what his relationship on the way back was with Elizabeth whom he remembered in childhood.

Ahem...well, will you be doing the honors??? Whine...

will you be doing the honors??? Whine...

er... possibly. I do have my own ideas on the subject.

I'm so glad you liked the drabble (and were able to access LJ, too!) -- thank you for letting me know.
