Silverflint drabble of the week (05/11/18 – revolution/ mask/ dance)

The dead man’s feet are dancing wildly in the wind. As is the sign REBEL on a cord around his neck.

The two old men look at each other. Each knows that the other is thinking of when, many years ago, the sign on the chest of a hanged man said PIRATE.

Silver’s shoulder brushes Flint’s. “One day there will be a successful war against England. A revolution.”

Flint’s face is an impassive mask. “Maybe.” He heaves a long sigh. “Neither of us will be around to see it.” He lays a weary hand on Silver’s shoulder. “Let’s go home.”
