Chapter 1: The Maiden’s Voyage

The luxury liner the Victoria was a state-of-the-art cruise liner that was making its maiden voyage. As a promotion ploy, 5 people were given tickets for first-class boarding, and the cruise liner sent out scratch-off tickets if you got a ship on your scratch-off ticket, you would have won the trip. Five lucky people and their partners would set sail to Bermuda with all the amenities that came with first-class boarding.

There was a mix of ages selected, some old some middle-aged, and some young adults. They would join the other guests that were on the ship and had paid to do so. The majority of these guests were wealthy upper-crust people, they paid a large sum of money to sail on the maiden voyage of this grandiose ship. The scene emulated that of the Titanic, with its immense golden chandeliers and a grand staircase, not leaving out all the gold fixtures scattered about.

One would be taken aback by the feeling of high society and the snooty attitude they would have. The ship was built in the United States and was christened by the name Victoria, the honor went to Former President George W. Bush to crack the champagne on the front of the ship.

Thousands were on hand to watch this ceremony; it was an American-built ship and an American President Christened it. The feel of great pride was felt by the onlookers and teary eyes could be seen on the Former President.

Ethel and Morris Greenblatt of Queens were the first couple to receive the scratch-off. They were both in their early eighties, yet they were healthy. They were having a normal day; Ethel was enjoying needlepoint and Morris was working on his book. Morris was a retired professor from Hunter College, he taught Psychology for thirty years now retired he began to publish a series of books in the field of Phycology.

Although Morris was a healthy man for his age, his hearing wasn’t that great. His wife had to practically scream when talking to him from the kitchen. This was a handicap because Morris had to ask people twice in order to understand them. His neighbors called him Morris two times because he never heard anyone the first time.

They lived a modest life; they owned a one-family home in Queens that had some property behind it. Ethel had a beautiful rose garden which also included fancy flowers. Both were content doing what they were doing.

Once a week they went out to dinner, the early bird special at a diner near their home. They were rather frugal, they tried to live within their means. They had two sons who moved down south to South Carolina. They were doing well for themselves; both were lawyers and shared practice together.

They would come down at least once a year to visit their parents. It was hard to leave the firm, one brother would have to go and then the other brother could go.

Ethel had gone out to
