Impending Impact

A vessel, filled with so much naivety and lively wonder, sails its course across sunny seas. Above the nighttime water, a tiny crown of ice hides an ice palace underneath. Worlds collide, where unsuspecting metal meets malicious iceberg. A hole rips in the hull of the ship. Oh, Mother Titanic—as slow as she can, she sinks, knowing the lives on the line, leaving lifelines of debris behind. A little girl, a precious past passenger, sees her pieces pointing to a sinister shark and scrambles onto a raft composed of her broken hull. Then, quietly, the majestic Titanic falls under the waves, never to see quite so innocently the light of day the same again.
