Leagues of water (ch. 25)


"It’s been hours,” started Andrea.

“Seriously, something isn’t right,” said John, as the two sat on the decks waiting anxiously to know what transpired below.

Turning the large silvery valve handle, Francis sealed the ship’s and its captain’s fate. Tucked neatly between the pipes and deck plates, no one would ever find him beneath so many leagues of water.

Well, that’s that, he thought leaving the engine room, which was quickly filling with sea water.

“Are you alright? What happened down there? Where’s the captain?” assailed the two waiting up on deck with the rest of the crew.

“It’s alright.”
