“I’m trying not to gag here.”

“Gag? I would think you’d be ok with this.”

“It’s just so weird. I can’t even…”

“Will you just put it in already? Jeez, Kurt.”

“I’m trying. Ugh. I feel nauseous.”

“Seriously? Don’t be such a girl. Stick it in.”

“Um. Hey, guys.”

Kurt and Dave looked up to see Mike Chang walk into the restroom. “Hey,” they ( Read more... )

Finally, at the end of such a long and tiring day, the captain was relieved to find himself in bed at last, snuggled up next to Kurt.

“Strando is quite the character. I think I accidentally hired a ship jester. The crew can’t get enough of his stories.”

“I had a good feeling about him.” Kurt mumbled, snuggling closer.

“You met Anderson?”

“Yes ( Read more... )

Five days later, the captain returned.

“I did it, Kurt, I did it!” He picked the smaller man up and spun him around, laughing. They were back in the captain’s quarters, finally together after five long, stress-filled days. “I’m a free man. My warrant expired two days before I walked into the constable’s office. Two days!” He set Kurt down and ( Read more... )

The Gleeful Ghost was released and allowed to continue on its journey. The captain sat at his desk, considering the day’s activities. Four men had perished, seven others were injured. He would have to hire several new deck hands in Havana. That worried him. There was always a chance a new sailor would bring his bigotry or zealous religious ( Read more... )

They set sail again out across the open ocean, criss-crossing the sea and sacking the plentiful merchant vessels unlucky enough to cross their path. Luck was surely with The Gleeful Ghost. Despite the previous captain’s instability, the cook’s effeminate nature and the deck hand’s idiocy in bringing females onboard, they had sailed safely over ( Read more... )

Three days later they were pulling in to the harbor of Kingstown, a large metropolis with an even larger black-market. A pirate’s best friend, since bills of lading were easy to forge and there were many buyers willing to pay top dollar for pirated goods. The cargo was valuable and while Karofsky was proud of his dead friend’s instincts and ( Read more... )

“Toss all three of them overboard!” The captain hollered from his perch on the top deck. The crew couldn’t be happier to comply. The three suspects were bound together and marched to the railing’s edge. The final dismissive wave of Capt Azimio’s hand sealed their fate as they were pushed over the edge and splashed into the water.

He turned his ( Read more... )

Blaine finally found Kurt. Twenty minutes later.

He spotted him sitting on a bench outside the same Gap Store where he’d last seen him.

But this was not the same Kurt.

He was swinging his crossed leg excitedly as he talked on his phone. Blaine’s eyes widened as he walked closer. Kurt wore a striped green cardigan, a scarf around his neck and ( Read more... )

“No…please don’t go. I’m so sorry, Blaine….I didn’t mean for this to happen.” The boy was crying now. He tried not to laugh.

“But it did. And it’s all your fault. There’s nothing else to say, Derek. I have to go.” Blaine walked away from the boy, leaving him standing in the middle of his bedroom. “My parents are enrolling me in this retarded ( Read more... )

What the fuck am I doing here? Brittany Pierce’s bedroom? Really, Dave? Really?
School had started only a couple weeks ago and he’d managed to avoid her for that long. But yesterday she caught him….damn him and his need to linger over the last few tots on his lunch plate. She sat next to him after Azimio and the other guys left.
She laid it all ( Read more... )
