SteveConway was tired of RT. He wanted to move somewhere else. But he didn't know where. He decided to check out a travelling agency to see where he should go. There were hundreds of brochures, but one stood out to Steve. This brochure was about ATR. ATR was North-west of RT, approximately 7,600 miles away on another continent. When he asked the agent about ATR, the agent said exactly this. "It's North-west of here, over 7 thousand miles away. You can only get there by Ship or Plane and the next plane there is in 8 months." Steve said he'd take the ship. The agent told him the price, name, and time of the ship. Steve handed the money over easily.
It was now the day of departure. A few hours were still left until he had to board, so he walked to the coast and took a nap in a boat on the shore. About three hours later he woke up and walked to the ship. Perfect timing. He gave the captain, who went by the name of Growlithe, his passport. Growlithe let him on and another crew member, Paramatar, showed him his room. It was cozy and nice for a ship room, but it was good enough. He ate dinner on the ship, which was surprisingly good considereing the chef, Manic, looked like Steve's scraggly old lunch man from the fifth grade. Afterwards he dozed off once more, dreaming amazing dreams.
Steve suddenly woke up to an odd water-fall esque sound. It wasn't as loud, but it sounded very similar. He opened the door and saw water pouring in from multiple holes and scrapes. He trudged through the knee-high water and up the stairs to warn the captain. By the time he got there, the captain was gone, and Steve went to find him. Growlithe, the captain, was ordering the men to patch the holes if they could. When Steve asked Growlithe what happened to the ship, Growlithe replied with, "A nasty Iceberg, the damage may be worse than we think."
Steve asked if he could use a life raft, and Growlithe let him, considering the ship probably wont survive. Steve boarded one and the captain released it. Steve's head almost knocked against his knees as the boat hit the water. Steve quickly found some oars and paddled away from the boat. By the time Steve was almost a hundred yards away he started hearing a creaking sound. He looked back and saw the ship split in half, and as the last bits of the ship sank, he may have seen a head or two and maybe even bubbles. Eventually Steve fell asleep again on the raft, his dreams much more dramatic than before.Steve awoke many times on the raft due to waves, but he always fell back asleep.
Steve awakened fully when his ship hit land. It was early morning, around 5 AM. He searched for the food which was on all life boats and eventually found it. Steve opened the packages and ate like a pig because of how hungry he was. He left as many packages as possible unopened, and fit plenty of packages in the backpack the raft provided him with. He set out to find some fresh water in the forest. It took many hours to trudge through the large amounts of foliage and over bounding hills, but he made it to a freshwater pond. Here he took a pot out of his backpack and scooped the water up.
Steve made a pile of tinder and lit it with a match. He held the pot above the fire until it boiled. After the boiling he let it cool then filled his empty water bottle with it. He trudged along to the exit of the forest. It took many more hours than getting in due to the higher hills and steeper drops. Eventually he made it to the edge. He took a swig from his bottle and started trudging over the final hill which would bring him back to a view of the coast, slightly more to the east, where he would have an easier time locating any coastal villages.
Steve trudged on up the hill. When he made it to the top he was bewildered. Instead of seeing a native village with huts made of mud, he saw the ship. The ship that sank just last night. He saw his hometown, too! He was so happy. Steve ran to the entrance just as Growlithe shouted "All aboard!" He almost broke down in tears due to happiness, but kept them in all the same. He climbed up onto the ship after letting Growlithe inspect his passport. Paramatar showed him his room, just like last night.
As Steve lay down in his bed, he thought to himself. "Was the sinking all a dream," he thought, "Was it all just a dream?" Steve fell asleep on the bed once more, just like the night before. He had dreams of the sinking, and those dreams told him many theories of what had happened. But everything was too realistic to be a dream. It may have been black magic, a dream, or maybe even a hallucination.
Steve thought for years about it. None of it made sense. Steve soon gave up on it at the age of 67, for it was too odd and bewildering to figure out. He sat down in his old rocking chair which he had since before the sinking. He looked over at the television and changed it to his favorite show. It was a childrens' cartoon, but he loved it all the same. Though Steve may have given up on solving the mystery of the sinking, he never forgot it.
It had been 30 years since Steve's death, and his great-grandson Kanest was showing his daughter, Tacky, Steve's grave. Tacky was only 5, but she understood every word on her great-great-granfather's gravestone perfectly. Of many of those words, only a particular few stood out to her, and she remembered those few for many decades to come. Those words were, "Solve it. Solve the mystery of the sinking." So she did, but she never told anybody out of fear they would not believe her. And so when she died, the secrets of the sinking died with her, and as such the mystery of the sinking remains a mystery.
