A short story to be written in 50 words not one word less, not one word more!, for the Freewriters community to #ZapFic50Friday contest. Prompt: "pier"
The ship had anchored near the beach and the first boats were touching the water when the lookout extended his spyglass. Seeing the enemy flag, he did not hesitate and ran along the pier to raise the alarm before the first of the pirates could set foot on the beach.
