POV: James Norrington

I wandered around drunkenly, my heart telling me I was being utterly stupid and idiotic, but my head not able to do anything more than take in my surroundings and remember my name and a bit about my past. Oh right. And feel sorry for myself.

I mumble and swear to myself about my horrible life, my dishonor, my bad luck. I also feel bad about Elizabeth. How did I fail so horribly with her? I've had several girls falling over me, but Elizabeth seemed to be completely immune to my advances.

I slam my back on the wall of a building and slide down to sit on the ground. I hold a rum bottle in my hand. "Why Elizabeth?" I wail. Yes, I am completely and totally intoxicated. And yet, I still take another swig of the liquor.

I put my head in my hands, anger and resentment towards Jack Sparrow and Will Turner filling my heart.

I look at my dirty clothing, my muddy, stringy hair, my decrepit appearance. 

"So this is what has become of James Norrington," I snapped at myself in utter distaste.
