Photo Drabble Challenge : 'The Opportune Moment'

[dwgm]

Over at Black Pearl Sails, Jo issued a Photo Drabble Challenge. The picture and my offering are under the cut.

~ The Opportune Moment ~

Port Royal at last. Bloody hell, it had been a long voyage.

Unfortunate, about the Jolly Mon. Ana wouldn’t be best pleased about that. Not that she’d be pleased anyway, considering his “borrowing” of it, and the particular method of “persuasion” that had allowed him to do so. She’d been a little difficult, but he’d learned patience over the years. Patience, and persistence: like water against rock. The denouement had been sweet, and he certainly couldn’t regret it. But, no. She wouldn’t be pleased.

However, needs must, and all that.

Rumor of the Pearl had reached him. She was back, close, inhabiting the same waters. Their courses were destined to intersect.

He knew it. He could feel it.

And another rumor: the navy’s new ship, the Interceptor. “Fastest ship in the Caribbean”. Interesting claim, that. Something to be put to the test.

It was all coming together. Patience, and persistence: like water against rock. And the opportune moment was at hand.
