It’s been twelve years since I went to sea, it had always been my Dream to become a pirate but it didn’t turn out as I planned now I’m stuck on a ship cleaning the god damn toilets.
“Roger! we need you up on deck!”
“Hang on! I’m still cleaning, you ass!”
“Just get up here!”
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Roger Sliversten I was recruited to be a member of the Skinybones pirates, by force.
“Ah Mr. Sliversten good to see you again, how is cleaning duty going?” said the old fart himself.
“Good I’ll be done by nightfall captain.” The man in front of me was the captain himself captain Skinybones, like the name implies the captain was a skinny fellow with a long white pointy beard, he wore a black coat and hat he carried an oversize sword and two pistols. I don’t know how a weak fellow like him could lead a deadly pirate crew. Some say he has a sliver tongue, other say he uses fear to get what he wants.
“Good work Mr. Sliversten I guess this week’s payment.” He then handed me two gold coins.
“Thank you….sir” Two coin… Two bloody coins! This was what I get for cleaning their shit!
“By the way could you be a lad and clean the dinner table, there might be some leftovers for you there, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up HA HA H-“suddenly a splash of water hit the captain straight in his stupid face, huh so there was a god on my side.
The captains’ face was priceless I almost burst out laughing but I remember if I did that I’d be sleeping with the fishes,
“Alright get back to work! I’ll be in the captain quarters.”
“Yes sir!” said a lieutenant as he followed the captain.
Great now I’m stuck cleaning again, man what I would give to have a real dinner and not eating scraps from the table. I notice something very strange with the weather lately, it’s been storming for weeks now it was like the sea and the sky were having war and we were in the middle of it.
I’ve been cleaning up the crews mess for weeks now can’t the learn to control themselves once in a while its’ started to get on my bloody nerves now, God I wish I was off this ship I never thought being a pirate would be this shitty.
It more likely because of that so called captain the way he get people to join his crew is by kidnapping, I could only prey for those poor bastards on the lower deck. Now that I think about it I got off like compared to the others, the captain took a liking to me and made me clean the ship, I’m guessing the rest of the crew is asleep by now and I still have half the dinner table clean.
Wait a minute the crews asleep and I’m the only one still up, I might be able to get out of here or get killed on the spot, there is a small ship on the lower deck and right next to it was a treasure room. If I do this right I could escape this hell hole with all their gold but if I slip up I could be walking the plank, I reach into my pocket and grabbed an old bandana, it was an old and ragged with a skull and cross bones imprinted on it. The bandana belongs to my dad who used to be a pirate when I was little, he gives me his old bandana and told me “Son, follow your dream no matter what, a real pirate never gives up.”
His words inspired me to become a pirate, not just a pirate but a captain, I held this bandana for so many years, I’m not planning to give up just yet I will become a captain, the best damn captain that sail the seas. I tied the bandana on my head got up and held my fist in the air.
“Father I swear to become the greatest captain the world has ever seen this I swear!”
I headed out to the lower deck as fast as I could but damn this ship is surprisingly big, after a couple of hour running I then begin to feel my legs shaking there it is two doors right in front of me, one to the treasurer room, other room lend towards the escape ships.
Luck for me the captain left the treasurer room open, thank you captain Skinybones, like I would imagine all the gold I carried out were heavy as fuck, I think my back is going to break.
“Hey who’s out there?”
Shit I’ve been found I ran with the heavy sack of gold behind to one of the escape ships,
“Hey get back here!”
I jump in the escape boat loaded in it pulled the nearest leaver with open the outside doors to the ocean, the boat splashed into ocean safely I then raised my hand in air waving a middle finger to the crew mate.
“Suck it! You scurvy-infested blowfish!”
I then grabbed the paddles and sailed away from the hellish nightmare of a ship, freedom at I thought to myself not only did I escape from there ship I also got there gold all of it!
“Take that you old fart!”
“Show yourself demon of the sea!”
“Demon of the sea? Huh that’s new. I haven’t been called that before. Anyway, I could help you out my sea dog friend.”
“How the bloody fuck can you help me!”
“How about we make a deal?’
A deal, I’m I already hallucinating, it only been a couple of hours since I left the ship. If I make a deal with this… monster or whatever it is I might be able to get out of this storm alive.
“Very well… I accept this deal of yours.”
“Good choice my man but I should warn you my deals always end up in Chaotic Conjugations…”
Chaotic Conjugations? The hell does that mean, wait a moment suddenly the raging waters have stopped holy crap it worked, I’m alive noting happen and… wait why is the boat going backwards, I turned only to find a giant whirlpool sucking the boat in.
“Oh, you have got to be kidding me…”
The boat was getting sucked in I hold on to the gold as hard as can, the boat began to sink.
“Damn you merciful Poseidon!”
