A Titanic Survivor

One night, I was awakened by the sound of distant thunder.  As I opened my eyes, I was on a deck of an enormous liner, Titanic.  Before getting here, I remembered I was watching the movie of Titanic, but I had no idea why I was here.  And Titanic was bursting with people of all ages, boisterous sound of screaming and yelling hopelessly.  I realized the ship had crashed an iceberg as I had learnt its history.

The back of the ship was slowly lifting up.  The front of Titanic was filled with water as the lights started flickering.  I thought, “What if I die here? ”  “What if there are no lifeboats?”  “What if I can’t go back home, floating on the sea?”  I wouldn’t let these situations become true.  So, I announced as loudly as thunders roared.  “The ship is going to sink very soon, run to the deck and go take the lifeboats.”

As we bolted and hurried to the deck, we heard an another announcement from nowhere, “Only women and children could take the lifeboats.”  That meant I couldn’t take the lifeboats.  We watched every lifeboat passing by.  Water from all the world burst into Titanic.

Although I would faint at any moment, I still didn’t give up.  “We could swim.”  I screamed breathlessly, but people thought there was no hope, they would rather go to the heaven now than swim with all of their energy.  But still, I wouldn’t give up.  I kept swimming in the dark, cold sea like a blind man walking to nowhere.  I didn’t know where I was.  I was almost frozen by the sea, as I was sinking, immersing and becoming part of the ocean, a sense to survive lit up my mind.  Although I was like blind, I would probably sink and meet Jesus at that time, I wouldn’t let such situation occur, I wouldn’t go downwards and embrace death.  I wouldn’t go to any places like the hell with “the black power” filled in it.  I was exhausted, hoping I could reach an inch of land just to stay alive.

Suddenly, a shiny dash of light lit up the gloomy, dark sky.  The dash of light was moving towards us.  “Yes, we did it!”  Everyone cried.  A ship which was even much more enormous than Titanic, with a pointy bow and a wide deck came from nowhere.

We were taken to the ship and given some food.  Unexpectedly, we met many other passengers of Titanic.  We then cracked humorous jokes and the ship was a paradise filled with joy.

The ship kept sailing and slowly sailed back to the real world.  I was sitting in front of the TV.  After the experience, I thought I watched too much television and learned a lesson of not to be addicted to it.  My hands were still shaking because of the freezing air, but I decided to switch off the TV, run away from the “TV world” and enjoy the real life.
