Iceberg - ATE

The sirens. The screaming. The freezing cold water. It all happened so fast. My life flashed before my eyes as I leapt off of the sinking ship and into the ice cold water. It took all I had to swim to an iceberg and claim safety. I looked back at the Titanic, only to see it nose dive and sink. For a brief moment I thought I heard some emotional music as though two love birds were to be ripped apart by the jaws of death. Those poor souls.

"That's the last time I take the first trip on a boat." I grumbled to myself before turning around to see who else took safety on the iceberg.

A woman sat on the edge next to me, she looked lonely so I thought I'd introduce myself to her.

"Hi ther-" I was cut of by her leaning in.

"Hello darling~" She would creep closer to me. I began to sweat. "Do you come here often? Why don't we get to know each other...." She perched her lips and closed her eyes as she leaned closer to me. I couldn't take it anymore. I pushed her gently away before getting up.

"Sorry, maybe later. I'm gonna check on the others first." I said before turning and walking over to another woman who stood across from the lover lady. I went up to her and tapped her shoulder gently. "Hey."

The female turned to look at me and she began to laugh. Not a normal laugh like you'd expect. No. This was a crazy laugh like she'd just gotten out of the mad house.

"Yeah. I'm gonna...." I turned, but before I could escape, Lover Lady grabbed ahold of my legs and Mad House Lady continued to laugh. "Oh God... I got on the iceberg of psychos." I thought to myself. I truly thought I was going to die on the floating chunk of ice.

"We will be together forever." Lover Lady hugged my legs and then began to kiss them.

"Please stop." I asked calmly, but the mad house lady just laughed. I looked ahead and saw strewn bodies in the water that had failed to survive. How I secretly wished I was them right now.

"Oi." A man with a super thick British accent walked over to the two psychos and me. "What seems to be the issue here?"

"I don't know anymore." I replied as I casually gave up.

"Ah. Well hang in there chap! Help will arrive soon." I nodded. Hopefully it came sooner rather than later.

***

Eventually help arrived. I was so glad. I raised my arm in the air and then discovered my other arm was cut off and being hugged by Lover Lady.

I screamed only to be woken up in the hospital. My family surrounded me. I had both my arms. Maybe it was all a dream.

"Ah! You're awake old chum!" Just then the male from my dream walked over with a smiling face.
