It's supposed to be unsinkable, Jack thought as he gazed up fearfully at the massive ship.
"She's beautiful, ain't she? Just like her mother."
Jack spun on his heels to see Harris staring up at the ship with awe.
"Harris!" He laughed and clasped the man into a tight hug.
"Long time no see my friend." Harris returned the hug and they grinned at each other.
"How have you been?" Jack asked.
"Oh I've been doing great. The missus is due for another lil' one in a few months, so that's something we all are looking forward to." Harris was pulled down into a playful tackle as Jack exclaimed his surprise and delight.
"Another one? God, Harris...how many kids do you have?"
"Five, and still counting, Jack."
Jack laughed and let go of his friend. "Hey let's go to the bar...you know, catch up on each other."
"Say, that's a great idea."
"So...Jack. How have you been since...you know?"
Jack sighed and he stared into his beer. "I don't know, Harris. I mean...It's only been a year. I still get scared shitless whenever I see a ship." He laughed self-consciously. "And I've been having these nightmares...I don't know Harris. I guess I've turned into some nocturnal creature."
Harris smiled sympathetically. "Yeah...I guess so. Have you...talked to her family?"
Jack shrugged. "Nah not really. I was victim to her mother's nails...but I don't blame her. I mean...Sometimes I can't help but think it's my fault she died. I mean, she wouldn't get onto the life boat because of me." Jack sighed.
They both sat in silence for a while, lost in thought. Then Jack looked up with a smile and broke the tense silence.
"So, what have you been doing?"
"Oh, I got a new job. It pays me really well...and well I bought a new home and we are doing really good."
Harris looked somewhat uncomfortable talking about his job and Jack felt a twinge of fear.
"You...are you working on the ship?!" Jack asked, alarmed.
Harris shrugged. "It pays me really well Jack. And it won't sink or anything. Nothing like Titanic. I mean, they made it better. It's unsinkable!"
Jack blanched and he drained his beer. He was tired and he was going to see Harris tomorrow anyway. He stood up and he slowly walked out of the bar. But before he left, he glanced over his shoulder and said softly, "That's what they said about Titanic."
Jack sat on the end of the dock, staring at the great ship. His eyes sought out the beautifully painted name on the stern of the ship. Damedeus. He shook his head in disbelief. After everything that happened...After all the lives that were shattered and lost...they still had the nerve to create a new ship, giving her the title of 'The Daughter of Titanic'. He sighed and lay back, staring up at the stars and listening to the comforting lapping of the sea. He fumbled for a ciggy and he lit it, pressing it to his lips. Jack lay there for a second when he suddenly sat up, grimacing. He shivered as a cold weight pressed down in his stomach. A horrible feeling of déjà vu filled him as he remembered...
