HIS HEART
The sound of the ship's bell split the night, causing his heart to go cold; the sudden cessation of the toll, seconds later, stopped it beating altogether.

The sound of the ship's bell split the night, causing his heart to go cold; the sudden cessation of the toll, seconds later, stopped it beating altogether.
"Make for the ship!" he screamed. "Move!"
He wasn't prepared for what awaited him as he topped the boarding rope, for the deck of the Dauntless awash with the blood of his men. Men slaughtered because he had refused to trust the word of a pirate, even one that he knew in his heart to be a good man.
He would pay retribution with every beat of that pride-betrayed heart until the day that it beat no more.
Perhaps longer
fini.
