[OL - FB] Emile's Nightmare

[KotZ]

"Such a good quartermaster. You were the best in the history of the crew," the long-dead captain told Emile.

"We were your slaves, and you a cruel tyrant," Captain Emile Perreault spat back.

"But you all voted me in, and you in turn was quartermaster. Ruthless."

"Only to survive that hellhole of a ship."

"Come now, those days weren't so bad. Remember the first ship we boarded after you were made quartermaster? Remember my test?" the captain snarled. "We hung the men from the topgallant? That was a fun sight."

"You made me hang one of our own with them!" Emile yelled. "We lost enough good men in that fight and you made me place one of us up there with them!"

"He was the worst one, you know that." The captain looked down at Emile's handiwork. "You didn't even protest, Emile. In fact there was a smile on your face as you did it. I remember it well. You're not so different, you and I. Men, lusting after glory. Ruthless. Violent. Cold."

Emile stayed silent. There was no point in arguing with a specter of the past. He had been through this nightmare too many times to count.

"You know we are the same. You'll fail everyone. Oleon, your crew. Even the one to your left. Go on. Take a look."

Emile looked down to his left. His eyes went wide. This had never been before in the dreams. He tried to shout Elise's name, but his throat closed up. Emile woke with a fright, his clothes drenched in cold sweat. The nightmares had finally become worse.

Thank you! I'm trying to have a good story people can enjoy reading, because I'm having a lot of fun making it, and reading everyone else's.

Nice story and build. I like the idea of it being at the top of the mast. The minifig posing is great too.
