Thanks! That kind of surreal "unreality" vibe was exactly what I was going for.
And much appreciated ^^ I struggled with how to showcase a volatile world where laws of physics and common sense didn't apply, and found that taking idioms literally felt like the most natural way (on the tip of your tongue, feeling very small, etc.)
Decided to go a little off the deep end with this one, hope it still counts towards the "pirate" theme.
I ended up writing something pretty far out from my usual writing style (and probably pretty far out of my depth too lmao), aiming for something more abstract and indescribable. Hope it was still enjoyable and not too confusing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@MarkTwain2.0, Aww, thanks for the kind words, it means a lot ^-^
Glad it still counts XD It was originally going to be a story about someone pirating movies in the apocalypse, and it just sort of grew from there. Great idea for a contest, and thanks for hosting! It really got me back in the writing mood.
"For shore" is amazing wordplay btw. What an impressive, if a little daunting wordsmith you are!

I loved this and yes, it absolutely still counts as pirate themed! I always love your writing, it's great. Thanks so much for participating!
