The crystal clear elixir of life and death tailed me down the corridor. Every second I took quick glances behind me. No matter how fast I ran it was still there. Water from outside pounded against the thick steel cage and it screamed out to me as it began to collapse inwards. No. They were not screams, they were laughs. The vessel was taunting me.
I wanted to scream. I wanted it to hear my suffering. I opened my mouth to shout when I realised, I was under water. Sinking into the water.
It was funny, water could bring so much good to the world. Some people in the world, I'm sure, would give their right arm for just one mouthful. But we have grown to greedy. We are trying to tame a beast that cannot be tamed. The sea makes its own rules. Not human nor gods can possibly control the sea.
I felt the last drop of life flow out of me and into the element that had claimed to many before me. And now there is darkness...
My mother once said something to me when I was bullied in school. 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall.'
I don't think it can get much bigger than the Titanic.
