The Titanic
101
Dear diary,
It was a warm day today, the sun was out and shining, I
could feel the cool breeze hit my face. Out at the ocean it was usually always
pleasant especially in the mornings not at night. I mean that’s what they told
me… Today was going to be my first day as an engineer at the Titanic. I
couldn’t believe it! I thought they’d hire me as their deckhand or something
like that, but as an engineer?! Holy! I heard their last engineer got inured
since the boat wasn’t stable, so they had to fix the boat which costed a LOT! I
definitely see myself with the captain! I can’t wait to impress him! Soon I’m
sure he’ll even beg me to be his first mate!
“OYE!!! Wake up laddie! You have a big day today sunny!”
said a voice coming from the door of my room. “W-what? What’s happening?” I grumbled
getting up from my bed. Great just great, it was a dream. “Come on sunny boy!
It’s gonna be your first day on deck with me and the others!” said a man he
look like he was in his 20’s or maybe 30’s. He had green eyes and strange black
and white hair. He also had a really thick Irish accent. “Oh your Oengus
right?” “I sure am laddie! Now come ye has a big day sunny!” he chirped
happily. “Let me get dressed” I said. As Oengus walked out the door I headed
straight for my clothes witch I had had ironed last night. This was my first
day so I wanted to make a good impression. “Ugh. First day as deckhand for me
yay…this should be a blast” I mumbled to myself while getting dressed.
My name is Tim. I have black messy hair with bright blue
eyes. I guess you could say there’s nothing really special about me. To be
honest as a kid I have always wanted to have my very own ship and go on
adventures and stuff like that. I guess I really never got to do that until
now, as a deckhand. I was okay about being a deckhand even if that meant
scrubbing the floors and mopping the ship. I was just happy to get to be a part
of an adventure. This wasn’t like your ordinary ship. The Titanic is actually a
ship that carries goods and people from place to place. This time it was taking
some kind of toxic chemical. I really have no clue why the captain would agree
to this, I heard he would get paid a lot of gold if gets them delivered safely.
People have told me that the captain has a huge room with gold and he wants to
fill it up to the top.
I put on a gray
T-shirt and blue pants; I then wore my favorite black jacket. The jacket I was
wearing was my favorite because it was actually my fathers. He had given it to
me the day before he had gone on a mysterious ship. From that day on I never
saw him again. This was one of the reasons I was so interested with ships.
“Hey Oengus sorry I took long. I was just making sure I
looked okay” I said sheepishly. “Well come on sunny boy! Ye don’t have a day do
ya? “Ummm no I guess?” I wisperd. Oengus and I walked all the way up to the
docks. “Come on laddie I’ll show ya all of em!” he chirped. “Ah I see you’ve
met Oengus our Steward.” said a voice coming from behind me. “Captain” said
Oengus who nodded his head with a sign of respect. “Hi you must be Tim” who I
assumed was the captain. The captain wore a long leather jacket, a pirate hat
and leather boots. His long drack brown hair was tied in a ponytail. He also
had dark brown eyes and it looked like he hadn’t shaved in months. “I’ll
introduce you to the crew.” He said. “Everyone I want you to meat out newest
member of the crew, or well family: Tim!” he confidently said. “Oh… h-hi
e-everyone…” I stammered. Great I stammered now everyone’s going to think I’m a
dork. It’s just I’ve always been so shy growing up. It’s hard to live without a
father since he’s never there to give you support. “This is Phil the head of
deckhands. He’ll be helping you with your first day. If you don’t know what to
do on the job ask him” said the captain pointing to a large man he didn’t look
fat at all. He looked really strong. The kind who can pick up a . “Boy are you
gonna have some fun today Timothy” He said grinning. Okay Timothy? Really?! I
absolutely hated it when people called me that! “This is our chief Ben.” Ben
looked at me and nodded. He had dark skin. He wore a plain green hat, boots,
green t-shirt, black pants and of course an apron. “This is our sailor
Eric” “Hi…” he said softly. Eric has
black glasses, blond hair and green eyes. He wore a white shirt with black
pants “This is our fine young lady Erica who is the engineer of my ship” I
assumed that Erica must have been Eric’s twin sister. She had blond hair and
green eyes. She wore a black shirt with white pants. “Hi” she said warmly. She
even came up to shake my hand. “Last but not least my first mate Jack!” “Hi
nice to meet you!” said jack. Jack wore gray pants with a long blue coat with a
black shirt. “Okay then let’s get this trip started” said the captain.
The trip started off okay every day we would have to get up
6:30 then we would be to go to sleep 9:30. We would always get 30 minutes of
free time before we would go to bed. It was now day 101. Everyone looked really
tired. The supplies were getting less by the day. To top it off we are even
lost at sea and even worse it was winter. So much for that nice dream I had
before I joined The Titanic. “Eric watch out for those icebergs ahead!” ordered
the Captain “I’m trying sir” sighed Eric “It’s just so hard to see in this fog”
he mumbled. “Don’t worry Eric if anything happens to the engines I can totally
fix them” said Erica reassuringly. “Well can ye fix the ship” grumbled Oengus.
“What’s that?!” I shouted pointing at the water. “What do you think? Water,
DUH” said Phil. Everyone started to laugh in hysterics at what Phil had said,
except Erica “I swear I saw something” I mumbled “What did you see Tim? She
whispered Erica. “I-I don’t know” I said unsure of what I saw. “I was huge…
like a dinosaur with flippers.” The moment
I said that everyone went silent. “Did you just say dinosaur?” said Ben looking
at me questioningly. “With flippers?” said Jack with a serious look on his
face. “Caption could it be?” whispered Ben looking at the Captain. “No it can’t
be…It’s just a kid’s fairy tale” he whispered “Wait what’s just a kid’s fairy
tale” I asked. Every one froze looking at me. “I’m just asking! What’s the
problem with that?” I shouted. Then that’s when I realized they weren’t staring
at me… they were staring at what was behind me. “Laddie take a nice slow and
easy step toward me. Okay?” said Oengus. “O-okay” I stammered. “Tim don’t look
behind you ok?” said Jack. I took another slow step toward the group and
another. That’s it I couldn’t take it anymore what was behind me that was so
bad? “Guys what’s behind me?” I said slowly. I studied the groups faces, they
were I complete shock. Everyone looked pale except Erica, she look like so was
about to burst like she wanted to tell me something so bad but couldn’t. “TIM
IT’S THE LOCHNESS MONSTER RUN!!!” She screamed and at the very moment I saw
something I would never forget. It had blood red eyes and dark grey skin, and
it looked right at me in the eyes. I let out a blood curdling scream stumbling
backwards. It let out a demonic high pitch scream and hit out boat pushing it
straight to the ice bergs we were avoiding. After that everything went in a
blur. All I remember after that is that the boat started to tilt heading right
for the icebergs.
Well I suppose its time to end this…I don’t know if I may
be alive but I just want you to know the lochness is real my crew and I have
seen It face to face. This is the truth about the Titanic, not just any Titanic
