Now that their cruise ship is sinking two people who hate each other fuck

[loquere]

A Christian man and a Muslim woman who hate each other are trapped alone in a room in a sinking cruise ship, with no escape. They're drawn to each other, to comfort each other in the last seconds of light, before darkness comes for them both. They give each other warmth and make passionate love. Then they drown together in a mutual embrace.

This is almost too easy:

And then the tentacles slither in...





Okay, maybe what's next is:

* They drown. Sort of like my planned story of a couple in a crashing airliner.
* The cruise ship doesn't sink, or they are rescued. Now they are heretics.
* They drown but are spiritually transported to a divine realm, yada yada.
* Their final fuck, livestreamed from surveillance cams, gets a zillion views.
* The whole flap grew from a drunken bar bet between Jesus and Mohamed.

This is a two-act play (or maybe only one).

Act 1: Their humanity overcomes their differences in ideology. They need, crave, must have that human touch. Despite all their differences, they fuck. They feel guilt as the darkness enfolds them. And maybe they die (one act play).

Act 2: They survive. NOW what the fuck do they do? They have totally debased themselves and forsaken their ideals. Ye gods!!!! THIS is the essence of drama!! There are no wrong answers; the conflict is what matters.

I love it.


PS - this can't but make me remember my absolute favorite scene from "Titanic." The old couple, knowing the ship is sinking and they are dead meat on a stick. They lie together in bed, spooning, letting the water wash over them. They are goners, but they don't care. They are happy to die together. It's only a few seconds long, but I'll never forget that scene. I realize that this isn't what the OP asked for, as it is two people who LOVE each other and DON'T fuck, but it is still powerful enough that I had to mention it.

Maybe more of a Bad Lieutenant would be more interesting.

The male character is a guy whose family died on 9/11 and he turned to Christian fundamentalism and right-wing domestic terrorism out of despair. He's spent the last few years monitoring mosques and stalking and brutally raping Muslim women before killing their families in increasingly brutal ways. And he's followed this one onto the ship.

However, the ship starts to sink, rapidly, during the moment of climax and he has a vision of Christ Crucified demanding that the man repent and atone for his violent life.

The story ends with the man helping the woman find her children and husband and giving them the last seats on the last available lifeboat.
