Sara clung to the deck chair as if it could save her. Her boyfriend Jim, yelled, “Jump! The boat is useless and in a few minutes it will sink!”
“Sara, being a pristine young lady with no experience, yelled back, “I’m not going to jump into that dirty water! It’s all muddy and black!”
Jim tried to dash over to help her and that’s when he fell in. He didn’t want Sara to drown, but he couldn’t reach her, the waves too strong. The last he saw of her in the storm was her grasping the wooden chair as if it could help her. It did not.
