Beyond Titanic page 2

 Beyond Titanic page 2 by ric gustafson


Charlene yawned as she looked around the dining room. Sunlight was beginning to come through the windows. She was eating breakfast with some of the other Titanic widows. She was given some clothes from the Salvation Army. She was given a waiver for damages and some money so she could return home.
Later after the inquiry was over, she was anxious to return home. As she was leaving, a young man walked up to her. She smiled. It was the young wireless operator from the Titanic.
" My name is Harold Bride".
They embraced.
" I'm Charlene Moton".
The young man thought for a moment. " You were with someone on board?".
" Actually my brother and someone I had met on the ship".
" Young man?".
" His name was David Sharpston".
" Did either of them survive?".
Tears began to form in her eyes. " No".
They embraced again.
" I'm sorry, he was a nice young man".
" Yes he was".
" Have a safe trip back home".
" Thank you".
