  3. Oh dear, so sad.
    Rather philosophical right?

  4. 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!

    Well done!

  5. 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!

  6. 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!

  7. 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!
