Welcome back, Sixers! I hope your holidays were wonderful so far and I'm glad you're taking the time to come back and visit the weird, wild, and wicked world while you digest the goodies from your feast. Thank you to all of you who leave comments. They let me know I've tickled your fancy and found people out in the vastness of internetdom who are interested in my writing. Thank you all so much. There are other authors who participate in Six Sentence Sunday and some of my personal favorites are Cara Michaels, JoAnn Ross, and Lynne Murray.
In this snippet, Captain Marcus "Hartwell", the erstwhile Blackheart, is feeling sorry for himself when a "boy" comes looking for him and takes him to the hostel to sober him up.
“Water?!” Marcus scoffed, trying to look ferocious. “I doona need water, laddie, jest more whiskey!”
“Oh, you’ve had enough of that for one night . . . and maybe for a lifetime,” the boy mumbled in disgust. “Just rest and we’ll see what to do with you on the morrow.”
Marcus was going to complain about moronic boys and their stupid notions of a man’s capacity for drink when his stomach suddenly rebelled and he damn near missed the bucket the boy had gotten for him.
Holy Aegir, what in the Frozen Hells is wrong with me?I guess he's more think than he drunks he is. ;) Thanks for stopping by and happy reading! :)
Better out than in, I think. LOL. He's not likely to enjoy the next morning, though. Great 6!
ReplyDeleteewww. Probably shouldn't have been eating my scrambled egg when I read this. I almost need a bucket too. LOL but I still liked it
ReplyDeleteWow-Makes me wonder what sent him on a bender. Perhaps it has to do with his love life? HOnestly though, no man or woman is worth puking over. I say give him some strong coffee...:D Great six though.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Gem! I love how the boy handles the situation! Up against a tough man...that shows his character well! Great snippet!

ReplyDeleteLove the cockiness in that second-to-last paragraph! Glad he got his comeuppance. Or up-chuckance.
ReplyDeleteOr poisoned! Okay, yes, just drunk. Fun six!
ReplyDeleteI love drunken characters. They always wind up doing something...interesting. I wonder what he's gonna do. Great six!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think the pirate has met his match.
ReplyDeleteOdd how often that happens when one drinks to excess. ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny how that happens when one drinks, isn't it? LOL Great six!

ReplyDeleteLOL! Good thing the boy is there to take care of him. He may be soon forced to consider the error of his drunken ways--he's cruising for a massive hangover!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet boy! Probably wants something from Captain Drunkass. ;) great 6!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd say so! (laughs) Great six!
