As we lay unconscious on the crystallized white sand, Bob stood up. He quickly scanned his mysterious surroundings trying to remember what had happened, until his eyes met the broken pieces of A971 in the water. “Wake up everyone! Wake up, please!" he sobbed, tears streaming down his face. As he screamed, my eyes opened. I immediately looked around and found that the beach was full of unconscious bodies, about 8 in total. Ben soon, everyone started waking up looking for answers. As I stood up, memories of the sudden incident flashed through my head “Make sure you call your dad right away when you get to the airport, and are you sure you have anything? Do you have a ticket? Have you brushed your teeth?! Dave, have you changed your-” “Mom, I've been going to Dad's every summer since I was 5, I think I'd be used to this after 12 years.” “I know, just be careful.

I explained this to the boat crew as we headed back to the island. Once I returned, I was looked at by smiling faces, cheering cheerfully. "You're definitely a life saver, Dave, thanks." He said Bob patting me on the shoulder. Soon we were all on the boat heading back to the nearest island with an airport, where we all said our goodbyes "-and so I am done, telling my father about the experience. “Wow, you must be exhausted.” “I am, but at the same time I'm pretty happy that it all happened – you know what they say, 'whatever' Killing you makes you stronger'”.
