Things fall apart
Things fall apart It was July 4, 2000 when our boat hit a rock and started to sink. The situation was looking pretty grim. Just then the boat reeled up like a monster coming out of the sea. Everything started sliding into the ocean, tables, lanterns. An anchor came suddenly toward me. I tried to get out of the way but it was no use. The last thing I remember was a huge “thud” on my When I awoke, I was on an island. Laying next to me were two lifeless corpses. I jumped onto me feet with a terrified expression on my face. When I looked more closely at the bodies lying there I realized that one of the men had been the captain of the ship. He had a stunned expression on his face and his body was stiff and cold. To the left of the captain was a man about 20 years of age, around the same age as myself. I barely recognized him. Not that I knew him very well, but he seemed like such a nice guy and a good hand on the ship. When I recovered from the shock of waking to two dead guys beside me I wandered around the island until suddenly I came across a young boy. He was skinny, about 5’1” and was wearing a boatman’s hat
