Writing Advice: it doesn’t matter if an idea has been done before. It’s never been done by you. So long as you do it well, and in your own way, it’s a wonderful contribution.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED
In my defense, I hadn’t had anything to eat or drink in a while. But the truth of it, I’m not sure it was that far off. Your demons are a part of our reality. Such is the nature of the influence you wield.

“You know, the strange thing is, I… I should be with Billy. Until most recently, I’m quite certain I would have been. Unbothered by the idea of trading your life for the rest of the crew’s. And yet, for some reason, right now I am bothered by it. But I understand it. I understand the allure of ensuring that no one will ever think you the villain you fear you are. What a waste it seems to me, knowing it doesn’t have to be this way. Knowing the man who talked me into giving a shit about this crew… why, he could talk those people out there into anything. If he wanted to.”

It’s an illustration from The Divine Comedy. The souls of thieves are bitten by snakes, and then they gradually turn to snakes. Will send more info if required.

I stole it from you. What? The Urca gold. I told you we were deceived about its having been recovered by the Spanish. Wasn’t entirely true. You were deceived. I built the lie… Enlisted the scouts, arranged the sale of the information to Captain Rackham. I conceived it all. You know, I’ve had my fill of hearing you go on about this crew being too weak to keep up with you. Some of them may be weaker than you, some of them may be less smart, but don’t you for a second believe I fit that description. Whatever happens out here, one thing is certain. You will account for me. Why are you telling me all this? So you can decide… To fight me, maybe kill me, and figure out a way of hauling yourself back to that ship alone or acknowledge the fact that you and I would be a hell of a lot better off as partners than as rivals.You conceived all of this? The cover story, the end game on the jetty? Waiting for the scouts to return? Yes. What did you do with your share? I gave up my claim to it. Why did you do that? Because I saw no way to hold it and remain a part of this crew. And without these men, all I am is an invalid.
