Drabble: 'Mad Hatless' (Jack - G)
Jul. 1st, 2012 02:05 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
The Muse revisited me and I've actually written a drabble, exactly 100 words for the 'Cannon' challenge at
blackpearlsails.
~ Mad Hatless ~
“Let them taste the triple guns!”
Some quirk of quivering air and sea brought Jones’ voice faint to Jack’s ears, electrifying his latent poltroon. His brain was suddenly inundated with words that began with the letter ‘D’.
Demolition. Destruction. Devastation.
Dread. Desperation.
Death.
“Hard a-port,” he managed, and noted Lizzie’s roaring echo with approval.
Lizzie.
Pearl.
The Locker.
The Pearl was pulling away, thanks to those favorable winds Gibbs was nattering on about, but the 'D' words were coalescing now, metamorphosing, uniting in a single, unthinkable unutterable lexeme, unfortunately, undeniably, and unquestionably beginning with the letter ‘K’.
Time to go.

Date: 2012-07-02 12:02 am (UTC)I am breathing a sigh of relief that June is over. It's the busiest month of the work year, and I was sick with bronchitis, which didn't help anything. Now I'm off for a whole week, so hope to play catch up on the drabbles a bit.
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed this. And it's good to be back. :)
