Stranded.
It was 2005 and i was on a cruise with my family, i was with my brother Brad, my dad Jim, my mom Mary and i Alex. The cruise was going to be a week long.
BANG!!! I dropped my suitcase in my room it was night time the boat was as quiet as a mouse, i was soo exhausted from the long ride to the cruise ship, i jumped into the bed and i fell asleep.
The next morning i woke up from the sunlight and the sound of singing birds.It was the first day of the cruise, my family had already woken up so i went to the top of the boat, there was a pool, my family was sitting in chairs eating breakfast, i saw a extra plate and i guessed it was mine so i went to sit down at the table.
I finished eating about fifteen minutes later, my family was talking so i went to my room and got my bathing shorts and went to the pool, a bunch of people had left since i started eating so i jumped into the pool, i was swimming for ten minutes then my family joined me in the pool, we were swimming for about an hour and then we got tired so went back to our room and i was still really tired so i went back to sleep.
I woke up, “ALEX!!” “LUNCH TIME” my mom was calling me, I looked at the clock, realizing it was one o’clock i went out of my room i saw my mom she said it was lunchtime,I went to eat i was eating chicken when the boat started tilting everyone got scared but the captain said to calm down after a few minutes it stopped tilting everyone calmed down after lunch it was three o’clock we went to the side of the boat and looked at the water the the boat started tilting again we got scared so we went back to our room we stayed there for an hour watching tv and then we went out again.
We went to the captain to ask him what was happening he said that it had never happened and that they were gonna call another cruise ship to get us on that one so he told us not to worry about it and just enjoy the cruise so we got bored and went to the pool again me and my brother Brad were racing to see could swim faster he won the race.
We had fun at the pool so my dad called us to go back to our room but my brother brad said he didn’t want to leave so he stayed but I left my dad asked where Brad was and i told him he didn’t want to come but my dad told me to go get him so I went to get him he finally decided to come so we went to our room my dad said to start packing our things up to go on the other cruise ship so we all started packing things up then we ate dinner and went to sleep my.
My dad woke me up and told me the other cruise ship was coming in six hours so i stayed awake about thirty minutes later I heard yelling so I went to see what was happening and overnight water had gotten in from an open window so the ship was starting to sink I went to and saw that my family had falling back to sleep i tried to wake them up but they were too tired to get up so i left i saw that they were putting people on lifeboats.
They told me to get on a lifeboat i said that my family was still on the boat they told me that they would get my family but the the boat the boat started leaning they put me in the water and the boat was sinking faster i started crying i yelled ’’Brad!!’’ ’’Mom!!’’ ’’Dad?’’ the boat had sunk, and my family had died.
I was alone on a lifeboat in the middle of the sea there was food on the lifeboat and there was a paddle on the lifeboat so i grabbed it and started paddling after a while of paddling I saw shark fins and i got scared so i ducked into my boat i went back up and they were gone but the shark jumped out of the water i hit it with my paddle and it went back in the water.
I started getting hungry so i went to see what kind of food i had, there was canned peaches, bags of bread and water. Then i fell asleep, when i woke up i was in a house i thought it was a dream but then i saw a person and i asked them where i was they said they said New York.
I had survived.
