Is anyone alive out there?
I doubt anyone I knew is still active here. I suppose if they are they stopped following me long ago. I haven't written fan fiction in so long. Well, that was true. Today, I needed to write. So I wrote a whole few paragraphs. My inspiration was Pirates of the Caribbean which was on TV tonight. I'll post what I wrote below, for old time's sake. Who knows, maybe I'll catch the bug and finish it. Or I'll sign in again 5 years later and laugh at myself. (Sorry, I forgot how to cut. But there's no sexual content.)
The smell hit Jack first. He could only imagine the rotting human waste and corpses that had contributed to the pungent stench that clouded the small space below deck. He peered into the cells, looking over the prisoners one by one. Only one caught his attention. Only one was worth a second of his time.
“This one,” He said, quickly. “What's this one's story?” He asked the pirate stood two feet behind him.
“Boy was pulled from a ship few years back. Captain's favourite for a while, until...well...” The pirate broke off, shrugging indifferently.
Jack switched his attention to the adolescent, cowered in a corner. It was all hair and limbs, bony and shivering with it's head buried into it's knees. Jack couldn't fathom why he even had any interest in such a thing, and yet...
“Boy!” He snapped, harsher than he'd intended, but it got the result he had hoped for. The boy's head lifted slowly, two brown eyes peering up between strands of unwashed hair. The face was dirty, but something...something was worth Jack's attention. “Bring him to my cabin.” Jack barked orders at the pirate, turning and walking away quickly. Better he show his interest away from prying eyes.
