Merrydeath

The sound was getting into my head, the breathing sound loud in my ears. Old Baptista was murmuring prayers in Spanish, but they seemed to get sucked into the quiet..

As Marley walked forward, a round bead fell from his shirt tie, and stopped as soon as it hit the deck. No roll, no spin, no bounce. All eyes were on it, expecting it to roll under a coil of rope or to an edge.

His hair stood up on his neck, as the ship rolled a bit, but the buttton stayed put. He gulped, then stepped over it. It belonged to the ship now..

"Souls be in short supply on that ship, I think, and any thing moving is not of this world.."

Old Baptista kissed his medal, while a few of the mates mumbled long forgotten prayers to their gods.

The oddest thing about the ship was the silence. Even the gulls and waves seemed to mind it being here. The only sounds were of our ship, the creak of the wood, the rustle of the sails.

I really liked my Excaliber Tricorn (sparrow version) but after seeing Nigels Hat! I decided to try to buy one also from costumes period as well. He was right "its awesome". the great heads up on the new hat.

Do you have a link for this site? Costumes Period. I tried a search and came up with 1,000's of hits.

thanks!

Congrats Tito, and to the Mrs Captain Wendy too!

A cold green fog trailed 'long the deck, curled round me boots, then played in the shadows o' the doorway. Watching the whisps, me eyes burned trying to see the figures dancing around.

There in the moonlight stood a figure, with ribs of cobwebs an eyes o burnin coals. I wished me blade was in me hand, or least a 'lock..
