Dead Man's Chest…

I tell Will that one only needs the proper leverage and proudly show him my jar of dirt. The poor whelp has no idea what's in it. Only I do and I can't help but smirk.

Suddenly the Pearl lurches. The jar slips from my grasp and smashes on the deck below. Bugger!

I push the whelp out of my way and rush down to the remnants of the jar. I dig through the dirt. Nothin'.

Gone? It can't be bloody gone! I flatten one of the mounds. Still not there. "Where is it? Where's the thump-thump?" I try diggin' deeper. Nothin' but dirt, the deck and broken glass. Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger.

Why and where has the heart gone?
