I want to see a story about a pirate captain who forces all his men to put a piece of treasure in a "cuss chest" for each profanity or curse. When it’s full, they bury it on a tiny island they call Cuss Island. Legend has it that if one finds the right island, they’ll uncover a king’s ransom. But every piece is individually cursed by definition, and therefore a great pall hangs over it all.

Incidentally, I looked at that map a second time and that island is, disappointingly, really Guss Island. But this would be a fun story.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I looked again, too. But that's how good ideas are born. :P
