Day 3

   I finished the bag of peanuts that i found on the plane. i was looking for useful things in the luggage to use on the island. I found my bag, and it had a brand new basketball in it that my dad gave to me for the trip. I was going to hawaii for a basketball tournament. Ricky was our point guard and the others players were on another flight. I remembered my parents and i was getting home sick. This was the first time that i had ever gone on vacation without my parents and my plane crashes. I kept the basketball with me, it reminded me of my dad who gave it to me. My dad loved basketball and he practices with me every night. It got dark and I imagined my dad and I shooting outside of our house like nothing was wrong. The basketball was important to me, Ricky started to fall asleep. I went and sat next to the fire and prayed that a plane or boat would come rescue us but i was also aware that it was highly unlikely that we would be saved. We needed to survive until we created a plan to get out of this small tropical island.

life on the island


Day 1

I'm dizzy, I'm still not sure where i am and where the others are. I was on a red eye flight going to Hawaii. I fell asleep on the plane and now I'm awake with scrapes and cuts all over my body. I'm pretty confused so i go to find my friends that were on the plane with me. i try to call them; no service.  I'm still not fully awake so i dive into the crystal clear ocean. i hear a loud scream and run toward where it came from, thinking that there still might be others on this island. i fond Ricky, one of my friends who was going on the vacation with me. He was laying there with a deep cut in his leg. He couldn't get up. I went to get him some big logs and we made some crutches. Ricky and i found a broken sail boat on the shore, obviously to messed up to repair we turned it over and made it our shelter. Ricky told me that the plane crashed on the island because some terrorist murdered our pilot. Ricky and i seemed to be the only survivors, but we weren't to sure. We were hungry so we climbed up a coconut tree and got two coconuts. It was soon dark and we went inside our shelter scared that the terrorist might still be alive and on the island.
