Jimmy's Short Story

        The people were ready to board the plane. All the kids were sleeping and the adults were waiting to hear their boarding number. I was on my computer looking up survival stories, my boarding number was last. After everyone got onto the plane they finally called my number. When i got onto the plane there were only a few seats left. I chose the one closest to the emergency exit, just in case. I fell asleep but woke up to the sound of the fight attends voice telling everyone to fasten their seat belts, we might have a little turbulence. The plane started to shake and everyone looked scared. All of a sudden the oxygen preservers dropped and the flight attend told everyone that we were going to crash. Everyone started screaming and panicking. We started to drop and it felt like my stomach turned inside out. The plane crashed into the water and the surviving people tried to get out of the plane and swim to the surface. When I got up to the surface there was dead bodies floating, parts of the plane and people searching for their loved ones. The plane was on fire and sinking into the ocean. I looked around for anything that could help the few of us that survived the crash, and i found a survival box that had a survival boat. It wasn't big enough for all 12 of us so some of us had to hold on to the sides. 

        We were stranded in the ocean for 3 days until we finally came across a deserted island. We are all so happy to finally be on land. We decided to make camp on the beach for a few days just in case anyone was searching for us. We made tents out of sticks and leafs. I made a bonfire so it would be easy to spot us in the night. After a few days of waiting and living off coconuts and small fish, me and some of the other men decided to venture into the forest. We made markers so we would be able to find our way back. We went deeper and deeper into the thick forest until we came to a tomb, the tomb had ancient writing on the  front. It didn't look like anyone had been there in decades, it was covered in vines and bugs were crawling all over it. But we decided to make camp there because there was a fresh water lake with fish. So we gathered everyone and took our camp out to the lake. Everyone was scared to go near the tomb.

      We had survived on the island for almost a month and we had built bigger tents and weapons for protection. We did not explored the island because we didn't know what was waiting for us on the other side of the thick forest. One day some of the younger men decided to open the tomb they thought that their might be something that could help them get off the island. Many of the other group members didn't agree with them, but they didn't listen. As soon as they opened it a huge gust of wind knocked down the men and went into the sky. In the tomb they found ancient drawings on the wall. The pictures were all smudged so we could not see the whole story. All we could see was people opening the tomb and then a spirit going out into the sky. But everything after that was smudged. Everyone just ignored it. 

     A few days passed and everything was normal, except for the 3 young men who opened the tomb had gone missing. One of the other group members and i decided to go looking for him, we found tracks that led us to a camp, the camp looked abandoned. We looked through the tents and in the last one we found an old lady, the lady had gray long hair and a wrinkled face. We asked her what she was doing here and she mumbled something and smiled at us. We then asked her if she had seen 3 young men walk by and she said, "No, i haven't i haven't seen a person in over 10 years." We asked her if she wanted to come to our camp and eat, but she said she was fine here. So we went back to camp and told everyone about the old lady and how we could not find the other men. The camp members started to freak out. Some of them started run into the woods and run screaming until their screams could not be heard. I was all alone. I decided to go back to the old lady, when i got the the area of the campsite it was gone. It was like everything had disappeared. Since i could not find the old lady i decided to go back to our campsite and sleep there for a few days, just incase people decided to come back. When i went to sleep that night, i dreamt that i was back at the airport, waiting for my plane, it was like de javu. When i woke up in the morning, there were men talking outside the tent. When i went out to check what who it was, it was the men, who had gotten taken. Everyone who had ran or got taken away was back and it was like i had gone back in time. One of the men said, "So are you ready to go explore the forest?" I said "yeah." When we were deep into the forest, we saw something, we saw the shrine.
