Pirate Alley

"Blind old Joe had given Captain Miguel the address on Skipper Street. It was where the old hag lived and had told him she would be able to help lift the curse. The streets were deserted when he stepped on land, where was everyone, it was like a ghost town? He found the address with no problem and knocked loudly on the door, the sound echoing off the buildings behind him. He waited patiently, wondering what price the hag would ask for her supernatural services. But his years at sea did not prepare him for the horror that emerged from the door as it creaked open, as he grasped for his blade, making him wonder maybe, just maybe, the curse wasn't so bad after all!"
