the titanic

on a yacht or ship and its moseying around the bay [who knows which bay]. next thing i know, one end is diving and im thinking "we're sinking".

my ship was sinking.

i looked around, thinking about what i know about sinking vehicles and escaping and air and drowning.

damn, i know far more than i should about this death by water thing.

i notice the ship has windows, all of which are closed. this is a good thing since it means we will have a nice pocket of air inside for a while.

there are a couple doors, but are they close enough for me reach before the floor becomes a wall and water engulfs us and the pressure prevents them from opening?

i remember what i learned about escaping from submerged cars... let the water in slowly so you arent pummeled to the bottom by the current, and keep your head above the water until you can roll the window down and swim out. but we cant roll the windows down on the ship... we must wait and hope the water enters slowly.
