Chapter1
"Late again Jim?" Said Mrs. Hawkins as Jim walked into the room. "And why do you smell of liquor? You haven't been hanging around that "Black Dog" again have you?"
But Jim was so thoroughly wasted that he could barely get out his "No mum" before he passed out on the floor.
"Just like your father." His mom muttered as she closed the wide open front door and went off to bed.
The next morning Jim woke up with quite the hangover. He turned on his back and sat up. He got to his feet and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. He tried to think about last night but it was all a blur. He decided that he'd better go and check on the captain.
The captain was already up seeing as how he never drank. So Jim decided to drum up a conversation. "So, what's in that sea chest of yours captain?" This was a question Jim asked quite often and the captains reply was the same.
"Nothin' a boy like you would be interested in" and he would go back to his room. Jim had a pretty good idea of what was in the box. He knew what the captain did with the contents at night, but then again Jim would always get paranoid when there was a potential porno stash nearby.
That night Jim did something he hadn't done since the night of his dad's little "accident". He grabbed a small derringer and a pistol just in case and headed up to the captains room. The pussy always left the lamp on because he was afraid of the dark. Jim went into the room and closed the door behind him.
The captain was sound asleep. Jim walked across the room with the derringer out and pulled the trigger. The bullet rolled out of the barrel and fell to the floor. This was followed by a loud "DAMNIT!"
The captain woke up and through a fit "JIM! GETOUTOFHERE"
"Screw You!" Jim shouted as he drew the pistol and pulled the trigger. Jim went over to the closet where the captain kept his sea chest, loaded another pistol round and fired at the lock.
He ran to the chest and flung the lid open. The last two words in the house that night was a long droning "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" fallowed by a short and even louder "DAMN!"
