Lost at sea
The end, it couldn’t come any slower. Sheer terror turned minutes to hours. The waves crashed against my haul, and the wind swept across my deck, swinging my cabin doors wide open. A mixture of rain and snow blurred the visibility. Rain and snow…a bad omen on the sea. I rode through sea, reaching the crest of eighty foot waves. Violently thrashing and turning on my side for brief and terrifying moments. Taunting me, making me wonder when will the final wave come; When will the suffering stop ? The waves grow even lager through the night. Now the tossing of the sea is so violent it’s throwing my cargo, bouys, and even crew members off board. I can’t help but think, ten more minutes due east and I would have been safe and sound in the shelter of the harbor.
The waves were becoming too much for me. Breaking against me taking all strength out of me. I can’t last much longer. Suddenly, with one final crash of the waves my keel snapped in two, and my anchor ripped out line. Hundreds of gallons of hypothermic water surged through, filling my every room, trapping every helpless soul on board. I was struck with fear as I descended deep into the dark abyss, but then a wave of relief seemed to come over me like...like you would lay a blanket on a child. My lights grew dim as I sink deeper. All my worries washed away, lost in the sea along with everything else. The end is near ,the end is here. I am only a memory now.
