This is a historical short story about the tragedy of the sinking of the Empress of Ireland. It was the less popular Titanic.
Marcos, a young reporter, scores an interview with one of the last remaining survivors of the sinking of the Empress. He does not see the importance in history or remembering tragedies such as this but listening to Grace's story makes him think again.
BTW. This is not good. It is a little less than medium on the level of
awesomeness. It's also really short so you won't have to spend to much time in it. If you have chosen to read this thanks, you are awesome and to the people who decided not to read this, you are awesome too.

My Story: R.M.S Titanic [Completed]
15 April 1912, 1:55 am: I watched as the greatest ship of all time start slipping beneath the ice cold waves of the Atlantic Ocean. I was holding on to a jacket that was given to me as I watched debris get thrown in to help those who couldn't get on a boat. The man that I fell into a deep romance, maybe even fell in love, with was sitting next to me on lifeboat number 5 as we watched the unsinkable ship slip into the bottom of the ocean. I felt my tears freezing up as I cried. How did this happen? How did the unsinkable ship sink?
