one the fourth day of our voyage was when it happened when everything was smashed to pieces. A day that would change my life forever. I woke up like normal and helped my sister with her breakfast. Instead of going to the spa that day I looked out at the sea. It was sparkling from the sun. I just walked around the ship exploring. I had eaten lunch but wasn’t very hungry so I only had a few pieces of fruit and a small glass of lemonade. I was leaning on the rail looking out into the sea when I heard the first scream. So shrill and hi pitched that you knew it wasn’t something small a girl was running crying screaming about fire and bombs in the ship. At first we thought she had just spent a little to much time in the sun but then we saw the crowd coming towards us fear in there eyes. then it all happened so fast there was a second of deadly quiet , a blast of burning hot air a flash of orange yellow light and then I was flying hi up in the sky zooming upwards so fast I couldn’t believe it. I was flying and then … I wasn’t I wasn’t flying I was falling and falling fast toward the waters I had taken a few swimming lessons but not much just enough if I was swooshed into the depend by accident. I didn’t know how to dive our any fancy stuff like that so I had to rely on discovery channel and other TV shows. I new that if I just let my self fall flat on my back or stomach it would hurt like getting a big carpet burn all over your body. I tried to bend but the air made it a little hard finally I was ready to hit the surface. my last thought before I hit the surface was thinking how calm I was not flailing around our just letting my self die I knew exactly what to do. Splash. I hit the water like an arrow shot like a pro. Once I had entered the water I put my arms out to slow me down because I didn’t want to go in to deep. I swam up to the surface the water burning my eyes so much I had to close them and swim blindly to the surface. When I broke through to the surface I looked for something to grab onto. And found a piece of wood I hung onto it. I looked around and saw no boat any where. Then I felt something hairy bump into me from behind I swam around kicking my feet to see what it was and saw that it was a human body. I didn’t need any clues to tell me if he was ok. I could tell by the colorless face the closed eyes the way they laid in the water. I thought I was going to be sick and then I realized that there were more all over in the water. And the sight was horrible and I did get sick. That was when I realized that my family had been in side when the ship blew up. The smell didn’t help it smelled like burning flesh. I was sick again when I was done I wiped my mouth and started to kick looking for my family. My cool mind set had dissolved away and now was a frantic chase. I new that Sam couldn’t swim and that my mom and dad would have a hard time keeping her a float. I called out my throat burning from swallowing a little bit of the water. Samantha dad mom were are you .as I swam closer to the clump of bodies and still smoldering wood. I screamed out over and over again listening to only the waves of the ocean which were starting to get heavier. I keep looking for about an hour. I find a bigger square shaped piece and sit on it. Then a big wave comes by and swoops me up and brings me under neat the water for a few minutes. I’m numb the possibilities swirling through my head. I don’t even close my eyes against the salty sting. I lay down in an awkward position on the board feeling the waves beneath me. My stomach growls and my throat is starting to dry. I’m wishing that I had had a bigger lunch than just some fruit and a small glass of lemonade. Some how I am able to wander off to sleep. When I wake up I have a stale taste in my mouth my throat is burning and I have cramped up arms and legs. I sit up and realize that the board isn’t dipping beneath me like it would if it were still on the sea. I look around and realize that I’m on sand my clothes are dry so I assume that I have been on the island for a while. My human survival instincts are screaming at me to go find food and shelter so I do. Back home I used to watch discovery channel all the time so I was full of knowledge on this kind of thing only it wasn’t TV it was real so I had to be careful. I look around first taking in my surroundings. There was a sandy beach like area where I was and then turned into a jungle like thing. The island was pretty big and i decdied to look around for some one to ask where I could find some shelter. I went out looking but found no one. I looked around and saw some coconut trees i wasnt a very big coconut person in fact I hated the stuff but I would have eaten cow poo I was so hungry. The tree was to smooth and hard to climb. I used the piece of wood and was able to finally knock one down one that was very hard to open I gave up after a while convinced that it would never open. I took it in my ha
