She heard the crash before she felt the jolt jar through her body. As it did she lost her balance and fell. The sirens went off as she was rising from the floor. She calmly went to the bed and rummaged under it until she felt the soft padding of the life vest. She pulled it out and put it on over her lovely evening gown. It was her first grown up gown and she felt very beautiful in it. It was a lovely pale blue silk that clug to her body in all the right places. She went to the door and looked out in the hallway. It was empty, which she thought very odd. She realized that other then the siren it was eerily quite, no screaming or running. She made her way down the hallway toward the stairwell. As she approached the stairs the ship jerked violently to the left and she was thrown first to the floor and then as the ship tipped she was on the left wall. Oh no she thought, this ship is sinking.
With a loud roar the ship was sucked into the ocean and the light blue silk quickly turned to midnight as the ocean swallowed it.

wow...cant get any more literal that that can you ... quite good in fact....
Haaaaaa loved it, Thanks!
Wow, she didn't have much time to prepare, did she? Now that would definitely be a sinking feeling!
I always enjoy your stories.
There are a couple of typos in here.
Enjoyed your literal take on the prompt.
At least it was over quickly for her. Unlike that Titanic movie that went on for about 4 hours (or so it seemed).
Great story.
Well. A real sinking feeling. Good story, well told!
Brilliant, as always. Love the very literal take you took.
I always like how short and strong your scribbles are. This is good! And spooky.
:)
Certainly sinking... short, sweet, and too the point. Well done.
I loved your story and this was my favorite line... and the light blue silk quickly turned to midnight. Enjoyed this story very much. Keep up the good work.
