"Crash"

"All hand on deck all hands on deck"
"Whats happening" jolting up I noticed shouting from above me, the force of that shake gave me one thought, as I scrambled to get my boots on. Hit the stair to the main deck i see water flowing in. "What did we hit Sam" Rushing over to the hull looking over with every bit of my being holding on to the edge, looking around I see high waves rising and settling the ship at a fast pace. "Captain we hit a ghost ship, we are surly going down" Sam said in a voice that made my hair stand straight up. A ghost ship how does that happen. A glare caught my attention as I looked up in the distance, just to see a ship that we had hit I suppose submerge into the dark. "Abandon Ship, Abandon Ship, Every man for himself." Yelling as I look around at my crew, running to grab things that may help them afloat. One by one seeing them plunging into the waters depths, with every second growing more fearful of what is to come. Running to find my map, now in hand, from my lock chest in my Captain quarters. I reach the main deck. "Crack" the ship shook beneath me, spinning around to see the back half getting smaller as the wave carried it more out of sight in seconds. "Its now or Never" stepping up on the edge I took tuck and hit the water.
Gasping for air as I hit the surface, I quickly whipping water from my eyes, in attempt to look around, only to have found myself in a wave set that hits me hard... then again... and again. Spinning underwater with no light but the moon. unable to get my head above water to catch my breath, blackness covering my eyes, "this is it" the thought ran over my mind. t darkness that looks like you suddenly blown out a candle in a room with know windows. "Fight" i think to myself as i feel limp with one last attempt to reaching for the moon...I...
Silence took hold and the air grew thick, with only the sounds of waves rolling, fish jumping, and broken wood bumping into other wood.
