Tragedy FinalA Story by kyle aka-OsirisDiary of Kurt P. Pothering #1 Dear Diary, December 24, 2004 Today was another unsuccessful day for fisherman everywhere…we were not able to catch anything. The only thing keeping me here is the love for this boat, looks like I finally found a name for it, S.S. K.P.P., my initials, I need to come up with another name, one of my crew says we should go southeast to the I’m starting to think we should, we need to get food on our family’s table. I just wish I could spend some time with my family this time of year, it brings me to tears knowing that I can’t spend Christmas with our newborn.

The first thing I see is a boat in the middle of the beach, it must have been in the ocean when the wave hit. It was a fishing boat, the name was the S.S. KKP. Poor sailors probably never saw this coming. I can’t believe no one heard this was going to happen, we have people all over the world monitoring the oceans. It’s unbelievable. We can see all the fish that was carried out of the water, so shocking to see how many there are. The fish are surrounding the boat. We get on the ground now to look for the survivor and collect and identify the dead. We’ve been looking for about 3 hours, and all we see is the dead, I get called over the see something. What I saw brought me to tears, two people, a man and a girl were on the ground, by the way they look, they must have gotten the worst of the wave. The thing that brought me to tears is, even though they got hit the hardest, they were still holding on the each other.
