The Ship of Dreams: Chapter 6
Geoffrey paced back and forth throughout his spacious cabin as he scavenged the room for his life vest. Simple task it was, proved difficult with Geoffrey working against himself as he tore the room apart in his search. The outer world reflects one’s inner self, at least that is how the saying goes, and Geoffrey’s room was no exception.

Lost at Sea
Memories are subjective, so I’ve heard. We often remember in fragments, feelings often shadowing any impartiality. I’ve always disagreed with this, because I feel people who don’t want to remember or choose not to have never been through something like I have.

The Green Tree Frog
Charlie got the crazy ones, his supervising officer knew. Why these cases went to him first, to him alone, his supervisor didn’t know. Demonstrated talent for the job, of course, may have played its part. Once upon a time, a fugitive, who was slippery in the not-amusing-to-children sense, eluded other teams of local lawmen; Charlie followed clues only he seemed to understand, knocked on a door, and had his cuffs, in a matter of seconds, on the suspect’s wrists.

The Ship of Dreams
Heralding his one and only three-piece suit, Geoffrey sat alone in the Titanic dining hall at a table that was tucked away in the corner just by the exit. He had chosen the table because it gave him a birds-eye vantage point of the whole vast chamber while allowing him to note the individuals that came and went through the gigantic giant French double doors beside him. At the same time, he did so because it provided him with a sense of security with his back being turned to the rest of the room with so little space between in and the wall behind him.

The Titanic travels of Philomena
I was born in Thuringen Germany in the early part of the 1900's. My mother was beautiful, typically blond haired and blue eyed, everyone commented on her beauty, this was quite tiresome, they never spoke to me, so enraptured were they with her. During my younger years I experienced extensive travel, notably when I was relocated to Quebec from Germany to be reunited with my Mother, Loraine. Shortly after we travelled to England together.

In The Lifeboat
This is for the Vocal "Ship of Dreams" Challenge on the 110th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. That’s why I am freezing to death, clinging to what’s left of a table because I cannot really swim, and hoping that I can forget the cold as I watch the Titanic slowly slipping into the watery oblivion of the Atlantic after the iceberg hit. I was even more scared when the first funnel collapsed but it didn’t hit the sea near me, but I am so frightened.
