There were fire on the distant. The captain of a sunk sink float aimlessly on a fallen door. His ship have sunk. His crew dead and no one else was there to see him die. But a woman with argent hair swam to him.
"Your voice," the captain of a sunk ship said, "I could drown in it. And still be alive."
"Says the captain of the ship I just sunk," the woman with argent hair said. She looked with depth in the fallen man. His life is over, his family, no more. She is the cause of his suffering.
"I'm glad it was you," the captain of a sunk ship said. He was delirious yet conscious. Was he dreaming?
"I sunk your ship,"the woman with argent hair repeated. "Are you not mad?"
"I am mad. My crew, my friends, my family, all of them... suddenly no more. Hence, I am sad. Yet, I am pathetic. To you I am madly in love," the captain of a sunk ship replied. "I'm happy."
"You have no more future ahead of you," the argent woman said. "Still you are happy?"
"I met you," the delirious captain said. "For all the memories, treasures and men I've been with. It was just price to meet you."
"You are mad," the argent woman said. The delirious captain smiled and coughed some blood. A piece of debris have pierced his gut. The salt water was making it worst.
"I'm happy to have met you," the delirious captain said. "That's all that matters now."
"Why?"
"You, of all the beautiful creatures to ever live, must know better the answer to that question," the delirious captain replied. "But alas, this moment is but fleeting. I do hope you forget about me. Such a pathetic captain of a sunk ship. But you where ever I go here after, I will never forget. I am happy."
"Liar," whispered the argent woman.
"Perhaps I am," the delirious captain said. "Unfortunately, you won't ever know."
The captain smiled as he joined his crew in the after life. The argent woman upon seeing the death of pathetic captain swam deeper. Even though he told her to forget about it. She knew it will be a long time until she does.
"Come to think it," the argent woman said. "What was his name?"
