*story Roughly based around 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', the song by Iron Maiden*
As I was waiting in my cold, dark, damp prison cell, the bell, which struck every hour on the hour, began to chime. the time I had left before my execution was short, it had struck four times, indicating it was four o' clock. My execution was at five. I looked back at my life, trying to find where I had fallen off the rails, as I had been tried for and found guilty of a crime that warranted my death. Even though I had been searching in my mind for days, I still couldn't find where i had gone wrong.
it wasn't until... it must have been five to five... when i realized where I had gone wrong. by which time I heard the jangling of the keys, the ominous rattling of my death. Tears fell but I did not know why, as I never was scared of dying, I guess it was because it seemed impossible that this was the end, up until then it had felt like some insane dream. As I was being led off to the gallows by the guards, I though of escaping, however, I knew that such a thing would be impossible, where would I have gone? not home, I was wanted there, my only choice would've been to hide in the forest...(here the story departs from the song) I was just about to go up to the Rope when all of a sudden there was a "YARR!". My crewmates had come to rescue me. While the guards were distracted, I kicked one and made my escape. so I'm back on the pirate ship, on the seven seas where I belong, my next target: an island in the carribean, where it is said convicts may go and lay low until people forget about them. I'll stay there for a year.
