Jack the Monkey

A vicious, merry laugh was heard through the murky darkness. A candle shone in the corner of an empty bar, illuminating a face destroyed by a hideous scar, running down his eye. His weathered skin, defined by the flickering of light, reflected into a glass of bloody rum. His lips curved into a sinister grin as he barked in a crisp and icy voice,

"Yes, We'll call him Jack! As a reminder of our loyal, gullible, deceased Captain."

Laughter echoed through the streets in the intense, depressing, masked face of Tortuga.

Miles away, a drunken pirate staggered onto a rum catchers boat.
