Wash was in most cases a sensible person, but hurling harpoons at random people in the ocean for bringing about storms was about as far from sensible as it got. People who were afraid for their lives, however, weren't often that sensible.
Scuffling on the slick deck of the ship so close to the edge hadn't been the best idea either. The man roared back at him that he was saving them from the damn thing's curse, and that Wash wasn't about to stop him, and a second later the ship roiled and bucked under the weight of another heavy wave.
And Wash? Suddenly found his world upending. Something sharp caught across his ribs as he and the man slammed together, and then he was falling. The world spun, wet and dark, until he slammed into the water with a smack that knocked the air out of him. Down, down he went, as the current swirled around him and he desperately tried to find the surface, only to be continuously tossed about as the ship dragged overhead.
