born to survive

Fifteen-hundred people went into the sea, when Titanic sank from under us. There were twenty boats floating nearby… and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six, out of fifteen-hundred. Afterward, the seven-hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait. Wait to die, wait to live. Wait for an absolution, which would never come.
