The harridan on the opposite side of the entrance pounded again on the solid oak of the door, blatantly refusing the option to give up. Finally, Ann, frustrated and with sore ears, twisted the lock and swiftly turned the doorknob, opening the door in such a way that the bulky figure came stumbling into the room, directly onto a pair of roller-skates and into the wall. Fighting to restrain her derisive laughter, Ann flew out the doorway and lightly hopped down the stairs, and soon found herself in the kitchen.
Ahhhh that was a paragraph from the book I'm writing....  _________________ "Where's the thump-thump?!" ~ <3 *Captain* Jack Sparrow~ <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/Silent_Wanderer/JohnnyJack.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

I'm always surprised at what comes up when I paste!

Searching the cabinets, Bootstrap finally produced a small wooden chest. He opened it up and carefully extracted an old Mayan codex written on pieces of bark. Sighing, he spread them out on the table. “When the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes was still cutting a great bloody swath through the New World, there were frequent conflicts with the native Aztecs. One of the high priests promised Cortes all the gold they had, under one condition: the Aztecs’ lives be spared. Cortes, being Cortes, agreed…only to kill them anyway once the gold had been obtained, despite the fact that he had given his word that he wouldn‘t.” He paused to stare pointedly at the other man.
Barbossa ignored the look. “Would’ve made a great pirate, that one,” he commented mildly. “Keep going.”
Muttering something inaudible under his breath, Bootstrap continued. “So the priest, with his dying breath, called on the power of his people, and put on the gold a curse. Within a day of leaving port for Spain, on the treasure ship carrying the gold…something went wrong. The ship ran aground, and every man aboard died, save one. He survived long enough to hide the gold ashore. Over time, the dark magic of the curse seeped out, eventually surrounding the island in a ghostly shroud…An island of death.”
“Isla de Muerta…” Barbossa whispered.
Bootstrap nodded. “Aye, the very same…Now the island cannot be found, save by those who know where it is... And even if one should find it, he is hardly to be considered fortunate, for a terrible curse still lies on that gold. Any mortal that takes so much as a single piece shall suffer for eternity, consumed by his own greed.”
“It doesn’t say anything about liftin’ the curse?” Barbossa asked.
Bootstrap held up a finger and carefully examined the codex. “Ah, here it is…” he muttered. “In English, it translates to, ‘As by greed ye be compelled, by greed ye be consumed. No longer among the living, not yet among the dead. Doomed to wander; ever wanting, never having. A secret only moonlight can tell. Begun by blood…’”
“…What?” Barbossa asked when the man didn’t continue. “What does it say?”
“It doesn’t,” Bootstrap replied shortly, gathering up the pieces of bark and putting them back in the chest. “It stops there.”
Barbossa raised a dubious eyebrow. “That’s it? How do we end it, then?”
Bootstrap hesitated. “You return all the pieces.”
“And that’s all?”
“…Yes,” the man said, nodding and swallowing hard. “That’s all.”
