O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My captain does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
(By Walt Whitman)
Yang pei and other crew members felt terrified watching the huge cruise liner almost leaning towards them in order to smash them into pieces.
They closed their eyes and were ready to accept their fates when they heard a large creaking sound. They opened their eyes and were startled when ship suddenly turned to the opposite side.
"Captain was alive! He saved us! Our captain was ap hero" they shouted in unison.
Yang pei shook his head and cried, "He always believed in marine traditions and culture. He was a true inspiration for responsibility and ethics. H-he said either he would be the last person to leave or the only person to go down with the ship. He saved all of us, but w-we couldn't save him!" Everyone cried with him and took off their caps.
"See you Captain, till we sail together again!" Yang pei whispered and clutched yibo's badge in his hands.
They bowed their heads to the sinking ship and their captain for the last time. Everyone's eyes were moistened and they felt too emotional at the loss of their captain.
"If not for his guiding, despite us being disrespectful to him, no one would have made it alive. We will never forget our captain, he was such a great person!" The safety officer remarked and everyone nodded. They all sailed away with broken hearts and traumatic memories.

Yibo's breath hitched as he felt all of his energy leaving his body. He slipped to the left side and his body slammed into the metal wall hardly when ship turned to the other side.
A metal cabinet with some chairs slided towards him and hit his leg making him mewl in pain. He protected his head while panting. He tried to remove the heavy cabinet but gravity and it's weight was not helping him. He was tired as well and had no strength left in his muscles.
