You trudge through the thick undergrowth. You step on things that go _squish_, _crack_, and _crunch_, but you don't even want to _think_ about what those things are. You head into a small clearing. The pirate crew and his buddies have Zoe and Joe both tied up. Both have been shot through the head. &quot;Well, well, look who's here,&quot; the Captain licks his cutlass viciously. &quot;Boys, get 'im!&quot; The sea dogs lunge forward, and you run. There's a loud bang. And you closed your eyes for the last time. *The End* 2008-02-24T18:49:48Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/22365 <p>Oops. Looks like the pirates gotcha.
