Drabble - Cursed Men
****
At first he abhorred the light, repulsed by the creature he had become.
The moonlight showed them for what they really were. Cursed men, the lot of ‘em.
Anger soon replaced the fear, bitterness the sorrow, greed forever compelling him forward.
Yet, there were a way to break said curse. An eternity of horror, a void of deadened senses waited if they failed.
Too late the realization of whose blood was needed. Too late to alter the course now set.
A glimmer of hope shimmers on the moonlit bay. The gold, calling them.
“Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner!”
