The plank - Fifty words story contest
The plank
Walk that plank or you’d rather be keelhauled? Of all the deaths that endless sea provides, get eaten by a shark is one of the fastest. I’m doing you a favor by making you walk the plank. Try to be a man, just like when you stole captain's treasure map.
This is my entry to the fiftywords contest of @jayna.

Haha! I bet he's regretting that now... :D
Ouch!! He won't be stealing captains treasure again in a hurry... there's only so many sharks you can nose-punch before one gets you..
This is wonderful, @anixio! The story puts me right there in the moment, contemplating the various potential horrible ways to go.
Well those scallywaggas deserv’d to hath their maps stolen for t’eir piss-poor accents ‘n’ thinkin’ of usin’ man as a teasin’ slur when bein’ a “man” would be duel th’ flintlock beholder with t’eir own bare arms.
