What happened? (Open)

[Deleted]

Colton was so excited when he saw the new.. massive liners massive funnels looming over the small town of Belfast. Walking quickly in the direction he got out his fob watch to check the time, he will be a mere ten minutes early, that was not a problem as he can use those minutes to get to know the ship.

Jumping when he heard something honking at him, Colton looked up to see a small car, not like the early 1900’s model.. running out of the way. The man took off h bowler hat as he looked around. This was not Belfast was it? What was with the cars? He looked in the direction the Titanic should be in, not seeing the funnels he ran to the dock, “Where’s the ship? Where is Titanic?” He asked himself quickly. Turning around, he felt a little panicked, seeing a man and a woman he walked over to them, “Excuse me good sir.. can you answer me something?”

“Well of course I can.” The man said.

Colton pointed to the empty dock, “Where is the Titanic? I was meant to be here to sail on her.”

The man looked at Colton as though he was high on drugs or something that made the poor man sound as though he was mental, “Sir.. the Titanic sank one hundred years ago on her maiden voyage..”

Colton shook his head, “She couldn’t have.. it was right here ten minutes ago.” He gasped, “She sank.. did a woman named Sarah McCollen survive?”

The couple looked at each other, the man spoke up, “We are meant to meet my mother for dinner so we better be off.. good luck finding your woman.” The two walked off.

Colton turned around, staring at the dock.

Tosh watched the scene from the dock. She was eating chips. She loved chips, they were amazing. Whoever invented potatoes, and whoever made them into chips, was a genius.

Tosh tossed the empty chip container away, swallowed her last chip, and approached the guy. She rested her hand on his shoulder, and took in what he was wearing. He was not from this century, that was obvious.

"Sir, are you okay?'' she asked, sounding concerned. "I heard you talking about the Titanic with that couple...are you sure your health is quite okay? Because it indeed sank about 100 years ago."

Tosh would take him back for scans, if it was necessary.

Colton stood there staring at the water, "She was just here though... she was.." He breathed out harshly as he lowered his head as the man tried to figure out what was going on. He knows that he was not seeing things earlier, he saw the ship's smoke stacks looming over the town, but why did they vanish?

She rested her hand on his shoulder, and took in what he was wearing. He was not from this century, that was obvious.

Colton jumped when he felt a hand, even though he barely noticed it, looking over his shoulder he saw an Asian woman standing there.

"Sir, are you okay?'' she asked, sounding concerned. "I heard you talking about the Titanic with that couple...are you sure your health is quite okay? Because it indeed sank about 100 years ago."

The man quickly nodded, "I am not sure ma'am.. one minute I am walking here from the train station to board the Titanic as I was chosen to be her second officer then.. I look down at my watch to see the time and then.. she was gone." He dropped his luggage bag, leaning down he opened it to show that his uniform was inside it, "I am as healthy as a horse.. and am not making this up.." He told Toshiko, "Yeah that is what the couple told me.. Titanic sank 100 years ago.. how is that possible when I saw her docked right here?" Colton asked, gesturing to the dock behind him, "She was right here twenty minutes ago."
