Summary
There’s no point in addressing the letters to any Ed - there isn’t any Ed aboard the ship, he tells himself. Ed is long gone.
“Not Bl-” he hiccups, “Blackbeard!”
“What’s this about Blackbeard?” A tinny voice pierces his hearing. Suddenly, Blackbeard is reeling back, then stumbling forward, and grabbing whatever he can of the cell door. Between the rock of the boat and the liquor in his belly, he wonders if he might puke.
The cell door- I’m in the fucking brig, he realizes.
Of course, right as he pulls his head up, long curls curtains in front of his dark, swollen eyes, the lightning flashes. Stede is staring up at him from the corner of the brig cell. He’s slipping and gliding down, like a graceful, drunk tentacle, due to the weight of reality being too much on his soul to continue standing.
