318 – Young Tom

Before becoming a child of the roads, Young Tom was a child of the seas; his mother sold him to a privateer for use as a cabin boy. Young Tom spent a year at sea, swabbing the decks and de-barnacling the prow of the Good Ship Painted Jezebel, before jumping ship while in port at the Garbagetown Marina. He later swore a spittleoath to Swarmlord The Inscrutable Chinaman Esq. of the Great Coagulation before that swarm was subsumed by The Unknowable Void in the Night of 10,000 Scraped Knees. Young Tom died of dysentery in 1935.
