Summary: The cursed crew of the Black Pearl gets a small reprieve.

Eclipse

Every lunar eclipse meant a night of semi-normality for the cursed crew of the Black Pearl. It was the only night that they were guaranteed to be able to look around at each other and see, not skeletal monsters, not the cursed undead, but men, actual men. It meant that they could actually go about their work without staring despondently at one another. Their was still no satisfaction from food, drink, or more pleasurable things, but at least they could trick their minds into thinking there could be because of what their eyes saw. Too bad it only lasts a few hours.
