Another drabble...

Drabble Challenge for this week: something Jackish.

100 words, without the title.

The Morning After

Sun. Warm. Light seeping through eyelids. Morning, then. Sea and island scents. And smoke.

Ah. Last night. The fire. And the rum. Lots of it. Too much. And no food.

He recalled dancing. And singing. Good song, that! Full of surprises, was Miss Swann. The drink spoiled his plan in that direction, of course. But it was a new day. Even if she was Will's girl. They were bloody marooned, weren't they? And he was Captain Jack Sparrow!

But…what the devil? That smell! It wasn't just smoke. It was…rum! Burning!

His eyes popped open.

Bleedin' hell! SHE'S BURNIN' THE RUM!

The challenge was: "You can write anything you want (100 words, give or take) as long as it's about Jack, or from Jack's point of view." So it's a kind of stream-of-consciousness thing. (Also, a drabble is supposed to be 100 words, so it has to be pretty compact.)

I agree with Mo. While this was nice, your other ones were better. Especially the first one I read, which was that double theme 200 word one. That one was really good.

Thanks for the compliment on the longer one. It's easier to do those longer ones.
