The world tumbled as he fell, and for once he felt his own blood escape his long-dormant veins. A trickle forced its way down the side of his chest, sticking to the linen of his shirt as it flowed.
His hand found a smooth, cold object and he immediately grasped it, as if the apple would save his life, squeezing as hard as his weakly hand could.
He felt his once warm blood grow cold as the lone trickle dripped onto his golden hoard. What good it did him now, racing to leave such a hopeless body, a corpse that served no more purpose.
He focused for the first time on the sight above him. The pregnant moon bled its frozen light upon him. And as he thought he saw a tiny light twinkle beside the naked orb, all light left Barbossa’s eyes and he glimpsed no more of the stars.
