"Its lovely to meet you Captain La-Di-Dah."He proclaimed loudly relishing the sniggers from his crew memebers.
"Now.What am I going to do with you?"He proclaimed again,in a sing song voice.The Captain rolled up his sleeves letting his bloody shirt sleeves hold his black coat sleeves.He placed his hands on his hips in an over the top fashion.He looked up letting the sun shine int his light blue eyes the colour of the light blue sky over head.he shook his head violently again trying to fight off his oncoming headache as he faced the Navy Captain again.
The burning sun dried his blood and dirt caked hair which sections of that were were sticking up strengthened by a layer some poor man's lifeblood which should have stayed where it belonged,inside the body.
Captain Hamilton couldn't help feeling a stab of guilt for the Captain in front of him.He watched the crimson stream flow from the cut above his right eye.He admittedly admired his stoic demeanour even thought what he and his crew had just been through,he was hiding his pain extremely well,The Captain would give him that.
He started to wonder about the Captain,did he have dream and aspirations?Did he have a wife at home who fretted over his leaving?Or wished for his safe return?Right now was he terrified for his life or was he taking what was happening as it happened?
"Get a bloody grip!"He shouted to himself letting his own motivational words scream through his cranium.
"I might as well just shoot you now."He stated lazily as he was handed his bloody cutlass by his quartermaster John Cook.He held the handle in his hand letting the sunlight shine onto the blade,he watched how the blood seemed to glow.He wiped the bloody blade on his black breeches,he watched the blood soak into the material which would soon be completely merged into the fabric.
He held the tip of the blade under the Captain's chin forcing him to look up.
"Do you know why I am?"He asked trying to regain his monstrous persona.
