The Anchor
By Boyd Miles
The Sun dimmed above him as he sank.
Dan O'Seay had finally found just what it would take to get the
level headed Captain Manz to turn murderous.
Sinking fast tied to the ship's anchor
Dan knew that he couldn't hold his breath long enough to make it back
up even if the Captain changed his mind. He wondered, watching the
sun dim through the bubbles of his last exhale if he would be around
to feel the jerk when the chain ran out.
The sun, or Dan went dark.
