Soon

Retropolis
“When will we get in the lifeboat?” asked the mother of two.
“Soon,” replied the crew member while the ship sunk dramatically. The empty promise loomed in the air until the mother asked again.
“When?”
“Soon,” he repeated.
Escape was all she could think of. She frantically pushed her children into the lifeboat.
The crew member tried to stop her, but there is no stopping a determined mother. So, when the lifeboat rocked to one side, he fell into the frigid waters.
Everyone screamed for help, but it took so long… “When will someone do something?”
The mother whispered “Soon…”
