My entry

Six young sailors sat around a fire. They were sitting on the the glowing beaches of Tortuga in the middle of the night. Their ship was being repaired and they decided that they would make a bonfire for warmth. They then became bored and someone suggested they tell ghost stories. It was the canonneer's turn to tell a story. The only people who had told stories was a deckhand, the first mate, and another deckhand. The cannoneer began his short story. "It was the first night 'o' the green moon. People were fightin' under Jolly's Curse, and I was indoors when everyone...'turned.' I was just a young lad, 'bout 12 or 13, and I was asked by me mother to go to the market and see if they have any chicken. I headed out, just as she ordered, and screamed when I saw what was outside. I saw blood splattering and cutlasses swinging. Guns blazing and sabres lunging. Two men who were once friends would be opponents in a fierce battle to the death. I quickly sprinted 'round the corner and out of the battle zone, or at least I had thought. As I turned around, I noticed a man walk towards me. He had a hole in his ribcage and was undead like everyone else. He pulled out a large, rusted, old cutlass. He lunged for me throat and I jumped outta the way and just barely got cut by the sharp cutlass on my chest. I ran away from the man and tried to make it to the market to see if anyone were still and hopefully even selling chicken, as I'd rather have died than displeased me mum. So, when I arrived, to my surprise, I found something rather odd. The butcher was at his stand, selling meat, but was cursed, just like everyone else. I asked for some and he had sold me a whole chicken. I started to walk away when the man questioned me,'How are ye human?' To which I replied, 'I stayed indoors. It must be some kind of protection.' The man stared at me in awe and I simply walked away." The cannoneer said. The crew seemed a bit bored. "Now, here's where it gets interesting." He said, rather hopeful that his story would wake the crew up. "I headed home and gave me mum the chicken. She asked what took me so long and I told her some of my friends had stopped me so we could talk. She bought it. I asked her if I could go back out and talk to my friends. "Fine, but be back before sunset." She said, somewhat reluctant. I left and didn't know what i was thinkin'. Perhaps I was curious, but teh moment I stepped outside, I was in danger. A woman pulled out a gun and shot straight at me. It hit the door and I ran as quick as possible. Another person pulled out a musket and ran towards me with no good intentions. I ran away and was soon onm the bridge. I found that there was a crowd gathering on the other side and that more people had begun to chase me. I had only one choice. I took a leap off the bridge. They jumped after me. I landed safely in the river, but still wasn't safe. I ran to the docks and stole a raft. I rode out to sea and tried to go as fast and far from the island as I could. I was adrift for 3 days, until a pirate ship found me. They first searched my raft for any loot, and then me. They said they'd let me live and drop me off on an island if I did one thing: Become a pirate. I agreed and they dropped me off at Tortuga. I never saw my family or friends again." The Cannoneer finished his story. The crew looked a bit chilled. At that moment, the person next to the Cannoneer bursted out,"I have a story that will make you shiver and will send MULTIPLE chills down your spine! It all began when I was sailing with my good friend, Dentface....."
