Chapter One
Kasplash!
The Alexandria crashed into the roaring waves causing me to sway on the deck.
The captain shouted, "Jim! Hold onto something!"
So I jumped onto the rigging. Just in time too because a monster wave crashed into the Alexandria splattering my face with salty sea water and nearly knocking me off my perch.
I was only just holding on with my aching arms so I dropped off and sprinted towards the trap door leading to the cabins. But a monster wave swept me off deck. The last thing I heard was the loud but distant shout of "JIIIIIMMMMMMM!!!"
Chapter Two
Groggy waters
When I woke up I swam to the surface and looked around. Not a ship in sight. So I checked my compass; broken. I swam forward, my now salty brown hair irritating my blue eyes and my face as I swam. I swam for twelve hours until I finally washed up on a hot black beach. I looked about me feeling desperate for food and water. I ran across the beach peering into every little crack or crevasse I could find, but each on had the same black sand.
Then I started to hear some faint shouts from the other side of the island.
"JIM!" they said. I ran towards the shouts, getting closer and closer, until I started to see the ship. I got to the camp and found my crewmates covering me with food, drink and questions like, "Are you OK? Are you thirsty?" and "Are you hungry?".
To all these I answered, "Yes", and ate my fill.
We sailed home with adventures, stories and legends.
