Davy Jones stopped pacing as he considered his crew. They were working hard and well. There seemed to be no problems with the way everyone was working.
Davy nodded. That wasn’t why he was watching the crew. “Bootstrap,” he said.
Bootstrap looked up, his eyes dull. “Captain?”
“Your time is up,” Davy said. “You have paid your one hundred years of service.”
The man blinked as the ship released him and the sea life disappeared from his body. Then his eyes widened as his mind and memory returned. “Will!”
Davy smiled slowly. “He has not served his one hundred years.”
