The Silver Coin

The Mycenaean captain laughed and addressed his prisoners. "By the time people realize you're missing, you'll all be slaves of Greek merchants or landowners. And I'll be that much richer!" Sam swallowed hard. Now I'll never find Uncle Zim. And who will want to buy a crippled slave? Numbness overtook him as he saw his hopes, like the sail of the Phoenician ship, go up in flames.
