The Silent Race

SS. Oasis

***
"Let the feast begin," I heard the captain say, as he popped open a bottle of champagne. Everybody started cheering, and music came on. Four large tables where rolled onto the deck of the SS. Oasis, covered with food. I secretly took a few cookies then went back into the cabin I stayed in. I took out a map to find out where we where. We started on the docks of California and went west to Hawaii. I just took a bite out of the cookie when the power went out. I heard a few screams then silence. I looked out the window to see a fairly sized ship with people wearing black and red face masks. They then put long wooden beams down to walk across. My captain walked down to the ship. He almost slipped when reaching the end. He showed one of the masked people a document. The masked one looked at the document then to the captain, he then made a hand signal, and armed ones shot the captain with an AK-47 and advanced to the Oasis. I stopped looking. It was hard to process what I just saw. I then heard knocking. It wasn't my cabin door but one a bit down. I heard the door open then a gunshot. The same with the cabin next to it. If nobody answered the door the shooter would break in. I looked around, knowing I'd be next. I grabbed a pencil from the note I was writing. I got in my closet and waited. Eventually there was a knock by my door. I didn't answer. From a hole on n the closet I could see the door being busted open. It was one of the masked people. He searched around, under my bed, and in my desk drawer. He reached for the closet handle. The moment he did that I stabbed him in the neck with my pencil. He dropped is gun and fell back, his dying words consisted of "Sink" and "ship". I picked up his gun and stayed in my room fearful if there where more. Silence. Then, what sounded like cannon fire.
