Take Your Chances

You decide that it may be best to deal with the pirates now.

“Hey, Joe and Zoe, let’s just take our chances with the damn pirates!”

They both shrug and halfheartedly agree.

Here comes Captain Black and crew, coming to confront you about what you have done to him. You can almost feel the little butterflies in your stomach fluttering around.

It didn’t go as you had hoped. At first, Captain and you, Joe, and Zoe talked it through and told the Captain that you were sorry. He didn’t listen and decided the best would be to have you all hanged. You all protest and attempt to escape, but Captain Black is no match for you guys. As he puts the noose around all of your necks, you whisper “Sorry,” to Joe and Zoe.

And then it was all black.
