Hiya! My first response to the Broken Compass' Drabble Challenge. This week's prompt was Graveyard. I tried to creative. Enjoy!


Will never forgot his first day as captain of the Flying Dutchman. He wondered if any of the previous captains had to ferry men they had killed to the other side.

He would always remember gliding across the obsidian graveyard for the dead at sea and picking up men he had murdered. The most painful memory was recognizing a man he had killed during his wedding. The poor chap had been named Joshua Bryant. When he had found out what had happened, he began to weep. He told Will that he was leaving a wife and two daughters alone in the world, without anyone to support them.

At that Will left him, sickened by what he had done. He leaning against the mast, breathing heavily. He didn't think he could do the job upon him, but he had to.


Sorry it's so short, but I made it up on the fly.
