The nearly dark-red gun barrel finally fulfilled its mission and exploded. The rats on the deck gun scurried down, quickly gathering into a swarm. They rushed across the blood-soaked deck and began frantically tearing into the sea otters.

Charles couldn't help but wonder where so many sea otters had been hiding before this.
