Sentenced to Time Travel: Punished by the Titanic

Sarah couldn't believe it when the judge announced her sentence: time travel. She had expected jail time, community service, maybe even a fine, but time travel? It sounded like something out of a science fiction movie.
But as she stood in the courtroom, facing a framed portrait of the Titanic, she realized that this was not a movie. This was her punishment.
As the judge explained, Sarah had been caught embezzling money from her company. She had been living a lavish lifestyle with the stolen funds, and when the company went bankrupt, her crimes were discovered. The judge deemed her actions as a betrayal not just to the company, but to society as a whole.
Time travel was a new form of punishment, designed to make criminals face the consequences of their actions in a different time and place. In Sarah's case, she would be sent back to the year 1912, the year the Titanic sank.
The judge explained that she would be given a new identity and a job on the ship. Her task would be to prevent the Titanic from sinking and saving the lives of the 1,517 passengers and crew on board.
Sarah was in shock. How could she possibly prevent one of the most famous disasters in history? But she had no choice but to comply with the sentence.
Before she knew it, Sarah found herself standing on the deck of the Titanic, dressed in a maid's uniform and going by the name of Mary. She had been instructed to blend in and not reveal her true identity to anyone.
As she went about her duties, Sarah couldn't help but feel guilty for her past actions. She had always been a rational and calculating person, never once thinking about the consequences of her actions. But now she was facing the ultimate consequence, the loss of innocent lives.
One evening, while Sarah was working in the first-class dining room, she overheard a conversation between two businessmen. They were discussing the Titanic being built with subpar materials, and how it was a disaster waiting to happen.
Suddenly, Sarah knew what she had to do. She couldn't prevent the iceberg from hitting the ship, but she could try to save as many lives as possible.
Using her knowledge of the ship's layout, Sarah quickly made her way to the lifeboats and started helping passengers onto them. She also warned others about the imminent danger and urged them to leave the sinking ship.
The chaos and panic on the Titanic were overwhelming, but Sarah stayed focused on her mission. She was determined to make things right, to redeem herself for her past actions.
As the last lifeboat left the ship, Sarah took one last look at the Titanic before it vanished into the dark, icy waters. She had managed to save many lives, but she couldn't save them all.
As she was brought back to the present time, Sarah couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and guilt. She had completed her mission, but at what cost? She may have prevented the Titanic from sinking, but she couldn't change the fact that she had caused harm in the first place.
From that day on, Sarah lived with the memories of her time on the Titanic and the lives she had saved. She became a changed person, using her past mistakes as a lesson to make better choices in the present.
Time travel may have been her punishment, but it also gave her a chance at redemption. And for that, she was grateful.
