ONE

There was no explanation. The world had just ended. We were stranded on a ship, we didn't know where we were headed. I stared out at the blue sea as the waves crashed against the boat. "Land ho! Or you know...whatever the hell your supposed to say!" I heard John's voice yell. I ran to the over side of the boat and looked at the bodies bobbling in the ocean. The screaming off in the distance caught my attention. I looked at the people all crowded together on the island surrounded by bright blue water and a sandy beach. I felt someone tug at my pants. I looked down at my little sister. "What is it, Emily?" I asked her. "There's people out there." She said to me. "...Yeah. There is." I said as I squinted my eyes. "How'd they get out there?" Emily asked me. "I'm not sure." I sighed as I stared out at the people waving their hands in the air trying to catch our attention.
