Small Jones that wanted too be a pirate and then the  best at it but he was never like he was later in life he was at one time confident self assured and never making mistakes like he later would do.And he knew that and wished he  could do something about it .' Well what do you then  think? ' asked the bearded man then  who was talking to Small Jones about applying to his ship as a crewmember .And then too now in fact Jones was drinking rum something he told himself he would do a lot since it made him a pirate .And he always wanted to be a pirate too .
 

' I like the name of your ship then , the Dark Matter sounds scary and omnious like something you should be scare of ,one day thats what I like my own ship to be, ' Small Jones daydreamed of his ship the one that he would have one day he hoped if he lived that long .Jones had too hated rum but he never admitted it,who would? But in private he drank scotch when he found it and no one knew he did .And he would always do what he had to do to stay a pirate too .Small Jones knew that also.
 

' All hands on deck now ,unknown vessel approaching ,' ordered the Captain of the Dark Matter ,as then always Small Jones was first to appear that only because he slept on deck,there was no room for him .Now he then stood just pretending he had had arrived and leaned forward ,waves were calm and yet the other ship made it appear more then that and Small Jones felt uneasy to be sure .
 

' I need some scotch,' said Small Jones under his breath so no one else heard him if they did he probably walked the plank. And that was something Small Jones tried to avoid .Jones was not to liking to pain or being hurt in any way at all .
