Ahh -- a philosopher. I do wonder about our fascination with making pirates 'marketable'. Two weeks with the Somali or Chinese type would change our mind about the romance of that life, I think!
I had to read that a couple of times through to get it, but it is great -- the pirate ship bemoaning its former glory. I daresay I like it better in its current occupation!
Very good idea John, most of these are so completely different. A bit sad, and I like them that way! Sad is far more interesting then happy! Fiction always is to me!
Oooo, a tiny story hinting at such a bigger one! I like this a lot, wondering what revenge has brought-- You've also got my brain-gears spinning on the topic of retired pirates, hmm, story... Loved it John!
Welcome and thanks for dropping in. I'll pop by yours by and by.
This blog was inspired by First 50 words where you freewrite from a single word prompt. I use random words or images to create flash fiction in formats ranging from twitter postcards to short short stories.
