Either is correct. They are fully interchangeable, and no one should gig you on it if you use either.
EDIT: Distinction between them is personal preference, really. I think my wife says "towards" and I tend to say "toward." But I'm saying "towards" more often now -- her English vocabulary is affecting my American.

I think either is correct. "Toward" is American English and "towards" is British English, so I suppose it depends on the tone and setting of your story as to which you choose to use.
You should develop your idea here, with Survivor going on a Horatio Hornblower type literary adventure aboard the Penmanship!

MS word likes to steal my s when I write towards. FOr a while, I thought I was doing it wrong and then I realized I was writing the British version.
Oh well. I also use theatre, for some reason. I think it looks prettier.

For a second I thought this was a really old thread. Then I realized I'd seen it discussed elswere. It seems like it ended with the "Which sounds better" conclusion. Or devolved into how various people think they pronounce it.
