exactly! That is the question, for our hero now, and also the one I would have chosen for this challenge as well. :) Introducing a pendant, a talisman, opens a whole can of pirate-like worms. Will he “be” and keep the pendant hidden for some later relative to find and have an adventure? Or will his story end now?

Pirate-like worms, eh? I can just picture them squirming around saying, “Arr…” LOL
Thanks for reading! :D

Spooky and I love the britishness.

Dang that’s good! Leaves so much to the imagination!

I love the picture you’ve painted here of the famous grave, the amulet and pendant, the creepy laugh and that fantastically appropriate final line.

eerie, even gave me chills. Great job.

I read this through once and liked it. Picking up on some of your language cues, I went back and re-read it using the voice of Billy Bragg. Even better.

Very cool. I love how you describe settings and emotions!
