William's only relative was a pirate, a cut above the rest. Now he had to follow the orders of his "Captain Uncle". 1 of 20 stories in In A Flash 2020 Christopher J. Burke @especbooks.bsky.social #Booksky #WritingCommunity

In A Flash 2020, Christopher J. Burke

Captain Uncle

The captain studied the map in his quarters as the sloop rocked gently in the warm waters off the Spanish Main. In the back corner, a young lad of barely a dozen years sat at the writing desk, surrounded by books. Captain Edward Coyle turned to leave when the boy called out,
“Uncle!”

Coyle looked back and glared.

“I mean, ‘Captain’. Uncle. Sir.”

He nodded. “What now, William?”

The boy closed his book, with a finger holding the page, smiling mischievously. “Why are goats popular with pirates all across the seas?”

Not a serious question, the Captain could tell. He didn’t venture a response though he knew what his men would say after a few fingers of rum. And also what some might actually do with a goat after a skinful, given their less-than-reputable companions at their last port.

He allowed the barest hint of a smile. “You’re the one with the studies, lad. You tell me.”

Life on the seas can be rough when the Captain's your uncle!
