Water Wings
Expecting a hostile boarding,
Admiral Graham was instead greeted by a pirate vessel manned by a five corpses
and no clue how the criminals came to find themselves dead.
“Sir!” Lieutenant Harold
called, holding out a small note and a wide-mouthed glass bottle.
You took is from our home.
Prisoned us in glass
You tortured my dear wife
Your deaths will not be fast
You thought that we had gold
This voyage is your last
“There’s this too.” Graham
looked up from the note to Harold’s open palm where there were two long iridescent
wings, bloodied at the ends where they’d been ripped off their fairy’s back.
