The Island Part One

Chapter One

It was a cool windless night on the Moricana cruise ship. I was sitting on the deck at the back looking at the stars, thousands of them, twinkling back at me like millions of diamonds. I could barely believe I have been on this ship for over a week now already, but my mother insisted me on spending this with her. I guess it’s her way of trying to make it up to me, with her not being at home that much these past two years. So here I am… Alone… On the back of the ship while my mother drinks Martini’s at the bar and probably tries her way with another man. Sometimes I wonder about her.

I could hear the music of the club a few floors down. Me being seventeen years old, meant I was not privileged to be able to go in, so I spend most of my time wandering the ship. I walked towards the railing on the side and something caught my eye. It couldn’t see what it was, but I leaned a bit more in to try and get a better view.

BOOOM!! The entire ship lifted about two meters up in one sudden movement. I tried in vain to keep my balance, but the force of the explosion flung me over the side of the railing and I started falling towards the water. The impact of the water was like hitting the ground rib cage first. The water swirled around me. I could feel the current the ship made and feel the water pulling me more down. I looked up towards and saw a light growing brighter and brighter from the ship. I felt the current release me and found myself swimming up with all my might.

The cold air flew into my lungs with great force as I inhaled the air. I started coughing and for a moment felt like I wanted to faint from the rush of oxygen. I frantically turned around to look for the ship, already took a gulp of air to scream for help, but nothing came out. I looked in horror as the entire ship was in flames. Screams and smaller explosions filled the air. The ship was illuminating the entire ocean with shimmering red and orange.
I felt the pain swell from my stomach up towards throat. I could feel the burn in my eyes build. I would not see my mother again. Another huge explosion on the side of the ship pulled me back to reality. The ship started tilting towards its starboard side and I knew it was sinking. I didn’t know what to do. All I could do was watch in horror as the ship went down into the water. Slow at first.

I started swimming towards the ship. Somehow, I lost both my shoes in the process and was now in just a white T-shirt and shots. The ship was about 250 meters away as it was going full speed when the first explosion hit. What caused the explosion? I felt anger boiling in me.

As I was getting closer, the more the ship disappeared in the water. More and more debris was floating everywhere. From chairs, tables and even doors. I looked up just in time to see the bow of the ship disappearing beneath the water. It was gone. Not 40 minutes ago, was I sitting on the deck thinking of stars and now I am fighting for my life.

I felt something touch the side of face as I was frantically searching for something big to hold on to.
