Something Lurks in the Shadows (February 02, 2010)
Pirates from all corners of the Caribbean have seen a strange thing lurking in the shadows. But when they get closer for a better look, it disappears. The word on the streets and in the taverns is that this thing is a new servant of that dark-hearted villain, Jolly Roger!
Whatever this is, we don't think it has anything to do with the weather!
Pirates may be a brave and daring bunch - but they are also mighty superstitious. Anytime something new appears, most consider it... an omen. Like those folks who look to a GROUNDHOG to predict a few more weeks of winter weather, our omen is the sighting of this strange new creature. And it got us to thinking, "How will it change things?" Truth is, we don't know. This much we do know - if Jolly's controlling this creature - it's bad. So keep your eyes peeled and stay out of the shadows!
