Pirates fic: A Bird on the Wind

May 26, 2013 04:08

Characters: Jack Sparrow
Rating: G
Length: 100 words
Prompt: blackpearlsails "History"
Notes: For pearlseed :)

The brand is a tale he never tells.

It makes no matter.

The mark is heavy with history, but not the truth of him. The truth is writ in his skin, yes, but in ink rather than scar - the bird in flight, flying free above the brand, soaring over an endless sea.

A swallow, not a sparrow, but it makes no matter.

Pirate he’s marked and pirate he is, but in his bones Captain Jack Sparrow is a vagabond. A bird on the wind, sails like wings set for the horizon.

The compass spins; he charts a course for freedom.

Feedback is love!
