Captain of the Titanic

I get the feeling that I'm the last one left on a sinking ship. The first question is whether or not the ship is really sinking. Are the high water marks illusions cast out by others throwing buckets of water or is there really a leak? Distraught by situations have other sailors been creating an impression of panic? Furthermore if there is a leak is it something that can be corrected in hopes of staying afloat? I have no idea. Maybe I should just go looking for a band to play out the final days.
