Today's #flashfiction Seahigh's Treasure

“You're the sunshine of my life.”
Dracula* #quote

Today I'll be going to the Salmon Dinner, a charity event held by the Lions Club and now in memory of my grandfather as he was member who spent a lot of time volunteer and working with the club and did cooking for the dinner when he was alive. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

Seahigh's Treasure

          Captain Seahigh placed his hook on the roof of the treasure chest and pulled it down. He kept digging into the wood again and again while gritting his teeth. He kept looking through the contents of the chest, turning them over and over again with his flesh hand. As time went further on he became angrier and he dug his hook hand deeper.
            “Somethin' wrong Captain?” A crewman asked. Normally whenever they found loot the captain would turn around holding a piece of it his hand while swiping his hook through his long white hair while working to look like an elegant noble. This time he turned around and threw the loot on the ground with no elegance.

             Captain Seahigh yelled, “Three months sailing for this!” he pointed at the pile of paper he threw on the ground. “The whole thing is filled with paper! And it's all gibberish.” He then ordered them to bury the chest back underground for “some other unlucky pirate to find” and decided to sail off. Captain Seahigh didn't quite understand the nature of his treasure, as the chest had contained the stash of valuable and ancient documents and papers a scholar had been hiding that had been illegally taken from places. They would have been worth much more than their weight in gold.
