     original

 Dark skies then  linger overhead and screams could be heard from a nine year old girl, lightning appearing she had no time to return to her quarters she reached for the nearest life jacket and put it on. 

She was on a deck of a cruise liner or ship.
 

Icebergs then  were closing in, it was suppose to be a week long cruise to Alaska and back to the United States,they were now on the return trip,she smiled it was the most fun the little girl had ,she was returning to America to live with her mother,her father died a year ago and grandparents could not take care of the girl themselves .
 

Then the  alarm sounded,' Iceberg collision, all hands stations,passengers return to quarters and brace yourselves
 

She started hurrying to the deck her quarters were on hopefully her daughter was there already,this was now and here ,ships were built better,not like in history and the Titanic was,these ships had Titanium designs hulls,this was the twenty third century,Titanium was mined on the Moon and ship back to Earth,it too was even being used to build the deep space probe that was suppose to map and chart a new planet that was discovered.
 

She then too  made it to her quarters her daughter as usual was already and prepared for whatever was going too happen.' Are you o.k. ? ' She nodded and got next to her daughter as both hung on to each other .

' Impact with iceberg in three,two,one,' came then the voice over the loud speakers as suddenly the ship was rocked back and forth .

' May God have mercy on us all.'

However then  as it will be recorded later, the iceberg did not hit the cruise liner called the S.S. Rimrod and that thirty years from now the Rimrod had had in fact,unlike the Titanic,didn't hit the iceberg,instead it went through a sudden appearence of what scientists call a white hole,they are like black holes and smaller and exist only for a brief time during navigation and that is called true north is out of sync or all radiation and levels on Earth are higher during this time such as volcanic eruptions or sunstrokes or  then climate changes in any case white holes usually appear over open water,an open clearing field or even a desert eviroment,like tornadoes but they don't last long .

So she and her daughter like the rest of the passengers and crew of the S,S, Rimrod had travelled through time,thirty years ahead . 

 

end.
