Lost

The ship violently swayed back and forth as I tried to regain control at the wheel.
"Captain Whitlock! We aren't gonna make it!" I heard the frantic voice of Lieutenant Jenkins shouting from across the deck. The rain lashed down on us as the ship began to lurch forward. The crew had all but given up. Accepted fate. I heaved a heavy sigh and let go of the wheel. The huge boat fell sideways and I was plunged into darkness.
