The Island

 

         The waves came roaring onto Johns boat, the eye of the storm began to approach, John steered as steady as he could as each wave felt like a punch to the side of his body. He was alone, thought it would be a good idea to sail across the world given he had the financial freedom to do so and to experience adventure. The eye of the storm grew larger, the waves smashed harder, John began to worry as his small boat was not at all capable of such waves and force. The waves continued to smash harder and harder when suddenly he heard a crack! Part of the ship took a hit so hard the hull smashed, John began to panic, and he quickly got on the radio yelling for help! “This is John Davis I am at qurdanet 653 by 124 my ship is damaged and I need rescue!” John was well out of American waters where the coast guard could help him, Another Smack! The ship started to crack even louder; he could see debris float around him as he felt the ship start to slowly sink into the deep waters. Water began to surround his feet as the waves crashed even harder! This is it John thought, my own stupidity and pride is what did me in. The ship began to sink deeper and deeper into the dark water as the eye grew larger like an impending doom. Water begun to pass his knees and inching towards his chest, John quickly put on his life jacket and was preparing for the worst. The boat started to sink faster and faster and John allowed the water to drift him away into the sea. A huge wave came hovering over John and swallowed him into the sea then under water, the lift jacket pulled him slowly back to the top of the ocean and the boat had almost fully sunk. John gasped for air and then another wave slammed right into his face, SMACK! Water filled his lungs as he was plunged back under water. As he was under he began to faint, he was about to drown when suddenly he felt an electric zap! His body slammed hard, He was now on some hard floor like surface with water splashing around him, he coughed up water immediately onto the hard floor. John coughed up the salt water harder and harder on to the floor while gasping for air! What the hell, where am I John thought, does Hell starts with a hard floor? Lying on his front side gasping for air, seeing nothing but a fine polished grey floor and salt water which came from his lungs.

     

     John started hearing footsteps come toward him as water still clogged his ears, he then heard a man’s voice say, “I will be back to explain all of this after you have recovered, nurse Pentigrast will assist you in recovery, just know you are safe and will be back once you have recovered, Nurse Pentigrast will you please assist John and contact me once you see he is fully recovered?” Nurse Pentigrast said “Yes I will, and will make sure he is fully recovered and well for you sir” With blurred vision and exhaustion John’s face remained staring at the tile as he heard footsteps walk away. Nurse Pentigrast began to dry John off and asked “are you able to sit up?” John replied “I think so” and began to rise to his knees..”Where am I” John asked. “All your questions will be answered once you recovered, just know you are safe and let’s get you back on your feet” said Nurse Pentigrast.
