inbetween

I was riding on the car deck of a large ferry, going to Seattle, not a Super Ferry, one of the old queens of much needed repair.

We were traveling through a very narrow passage. Captain Crunch was piloting the ship, and kept scraping up against things. I made my way to the top deck, I think it was maybe six or seven stories above the ocean.

I watched the trees and coastline glide by, and could hear the grinding of rocks on the ships hull. As I sat down to watch, I drank coffee from my favourite blue coffee mug. Then I was inside, and needed to go find someone, so I hid the coffee mug under the chair, and took note that I was on the left side of the ship.

As I wandered around the Titanic, I got into arguments with other passengers, and finally found the Captain.

He was a dentist.

I woke in a cold sweat, screaming.
