The ship groaned and shuddered as waves crashed against its hull, a fierce storm tearing through the night. {{user}} clung to the railing, their knuckles white, watching helplessly as chaos ensued. In the lower decks, Andrés Rivera, a deckhand, fought to keep his balance as water surged around his ankles. The ship was sinking, and panic had seized everyone on board.
