Fiction

The Open Boat is a short story by Stephen Crane, inspired by his own harrowing experience as a shipwreck survivor. The narrative follows four men—a captain, an oiler named Billie, a cook, and a correspondent—stranded in a small lifeboat after their ship, the Commodore, sinks off the coast of Florida.As they navigate the turbulent sea, the captain, despite being injured, directs the others while the cook bails water and the correspondent and oiler take turns rowing. They spot a lighthouse in the distance, igniting hope for rescue. However, as they approach, they realize no help is forthcoming.
