Chapter 11 Pirate Jack and the Gypsies

The gypsies set camp in the lowlands. Pirate Jack didn't hesitate to pay them a visit. Sven the Viking wasn't far behind him, but did little more than walk by. If the viking visited, Jack didn't notice. The camp is big, he could have stayed for a time without his notice. Jack certainly didn't care if the viking did or not. A few peasants were already among the gypsies. Jack expected this. Peasants felt more comfortable around gypsies than the upper class did.
Pirate Jack told tales of the sea to an eager gypsy man 'till late in the night. He was having a grand time until a sudden summer storm.

Lighting struck a great tree within the camp, lighting it ablaze.
The gypsies were frantic. One of the gypsy men put out the fire. as the others wailed around him.
Jack himself was close enought to observe the gypsies paniced wife grinding into the man in her belly dancing clothes.

Ahh....this is what I love about the gypsies. Women wearing less than underclothes and us men permitted to look, single or not.
The gypsy wife gave her husband more space as he put the fire out. Jack's fire took longer to put out.
If he had been more observant of the fire than he had of the gypsy women, he wouldn't have been scorched.
Jack's skin was only mildly singed. He wouldn't take long to recover. He headed for his ship and his wife's sympathies.

  1. Nice one, Captain Jack. Get yourself burnt to a crisp watching some other man's wife do the Sim Fire Dance in her skivvies, and then go home to ask your wife to fix the burns!

    Very funny, though. I liked it! :)

  2. I figured it was so like a pirate.
    She wasn't doing the fire dance in a twiki island kind of way. More like...oh no, a fire! a fire! Save me husband! Oh! Oh! (Much more sim panic...)
    Of course Captain Jack was too distracted to notice the fire until it was a little too late...
