The Beach, Sunday Morning
Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 11:57 amThere was nothing glorious about Captain James Hook's departure from Neverland. The last words of 'I Want My Mummy' would not strike fear into the hearts of Lost Boys for generations to come.
There was nothing glorious about Captain James Hook's arrival in Fandom, either, as the two events happened quite, quite one after the other. Thankfully his magical transportation left him on the beach, and not hovering temporarily above it to fall ungracefully to the ground. No, Captain Hook, terror of Neverland and nightmare of Lost Boys arrived in Fandom on his back, his face a picture of absolute terror.
At least, for a moment.
When he realized that he was not, in fact, carried off into that great and awful inevitable, he stood up, he brushed the sand off the back of his magnificent pirate coat, and made sure his hat (and wig) were on straight. He patted his pockets to make sure everything was all there, and discovered two things he'd not expected at all. A pouch of his well-earned pirate gold, a good full pound of the stuff, in one pocket. The other, an envelope with two quite curious letters inside. After putting on his reading glasses, he discovered one was a rental agreement, an apartment in his name. The other was an employment contract of all things, to teach at a school.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Not one to leave himself at the mercy of the unknown, the fine Captain Hook set off to find his way to either of these new and mysterious destinations. He had his pistol and his sword, so he wasn't afraid of anything that may come at him.
Unless there was a giant crocodile around. That would definitely scare him.
