RE: Young John, Adrift in a Pirate Ship: Finish the Story Contest #35
Thank you @marcoriccardi for the compliment. The story didn't sentence him to death--the Marine Society did. I couldn't get that out of my mind, all the young boys who were sent to war merely because they had no resources. The most I could do in the story was give the child a peaceful death.
Maybe because I'm a mother it really bothered me.
