A Titanic Story

by Mezmeryz   Nov 18, 2005


I know its long but please r/r/c and tell me what you think!!

My parents did not really believe that the Titanic was unsinkable,
However they did not really think it would sink the first time it sailed.
I did not believe that myself.
We got the news that the Titanic had struck an iceberg,
And we were told not to panic. My parents didnt. But I had a sinking
Feeling in my stomach, like I had failed.

I just had lunch in the grand hall with my friend, Michael Angelo.
The news came when I was on my way back to my chamber,
My friend grabbed me and we ran.
When I got to my chamber I saw my parents there.
They were relaxed and calm and getting ready for bed.
I felt stupid- I didnt want to be here.

I told them the news and they said not to worry.
They said itll be fine, its safe, go to sleep,
But I didnt. I grabbed my bag.
I heard my parents calling me back, but I kept running.
I got to Michaels chamber and saw they were packing.
I ran to the life-boats with them.

I saw a life-boat floating off and I saw there was only one left.
The boat was filling up fast with other rich people.
I got pushed in front of the lower standards.
I was just climbing on when my leg slipped and I fell.
I grabbed a rope- I saw that the ship was already half way down.
My legs were in the freezing cold water and nearly frozen.

It felt like a thousand knives were stabbing into them.
The boat came down and I was hurled in. my legs were definitely dead.
I remembered my parents and I looked up at the ship.
There I saw the many faces of poorer people and my parents!
My eyes met with my mothers and she jumped off board.
She hit the water and thrashed around, she tried to swim to me and I reached out.
We touched finger-tips, her hands were like ice and then she slipped away.

I saw her body go rigid and pulled down, like being sucked down into a plughole.
We were now far from the ship and it was going down fast.
I felt wet heat on my cheeks.
I stared at the ship for ages, like a toy ship in the distance.
It went down and I looked away, I was crying.
I knew I would never see my parents again.
