I'm out here-- alone, stranded. I look to my left, nothing but the sand and ocean. "Looks clear" I say. I take a deep breath, I'm afraid of what I might see. What will happen? When my ship crashed-- everyone else died, somehow I managed to survive. I'm scared because when I crashed; to my right all I saw was trees and sand. I look to my right and a jaguar is sprinting towards me. "Running is no choice" I think to myself. "He'll only catch me". I think this could be the end for me. But i remember, the sword my parents gave me if I were ever in trouble. My ancestors were Queens and Kings during the mideval ages, and passed down this sword. It was given to me just before the trip incase anything happened. I pull out the sword as fast as I can. My hands are trembling with the marvelous, sharp, silver-crafted sword. The jaguar is getting closer and closer; I pull my sword up, and dash for the jaguar. We're getting closer and closer-- when suddenly the jaguar pounces into me. Knocking me out. Luckily I managed to get my sword through him before he pounced upon me. I know he is dead. I'm sitting here passed out, when suddenly I awaken from the ocean water hitting my face. My name is Matthew, I'm 16 years old, and everyone but me died in a ship-crash into an underground massive boulder. The ship sinked-- but I was the first to get out and swim, not very many people from my district know how to swim-- luckily I do. There were exactly 42 passengers on this boat, and only 1 survived, Me. My family is rich, my mom owns a hospital, and my dad owns a dentistry. I've been trained in Martial Arts, I know how to use a sword. So this weapon will be the most prized possesion out here while I'm stranded. I notice the ocean water is coming up to high over me, i look back, and see there is a storm rolling in. I think, "Gosh this island must be cursed, everything bad keeps happening." I rush under the forest, and pull out my flashlight from my suitcase-- I have a flashlight, clothes, my sword, water, food, a hat, my iPhone, and a med-kit. I pull on my camoflauge clothes, and put on the camoflauge hat. I pull out my flashlight at a cave, its not very big but it can protect me from the storm. I see no animals-- so I go in. I use some leftover boulders to pile up so no animal can see me in here. I only leave one little spot open that i can just barely fit through. I'm very skinny, only 86 pounds. I try to entertain myself, I check my iPhone to see if there are somehow any bars, and there is! I have just one in this spot-- suddenly I here a growl, I pick up the flashlight only to find a grizzly bear on 2 feet swinging at me. I pull out my sword and cut him in the leg, he growls even louder, and somehow manages to take my sword and throw it all the way across the cave. I dash for it, and he chases me, he cuts me on my leg-- I have to decide the medkit, or the sword. I choose the sword and continue running as soon as I pick it up I swiftly spin around and jab it in the heart. I watch the bear fall to his death, and then run for the medkit. I pull out neosporin and put it all over my leg, and then patch it up with a band-aid. I inspect the cave to make sure there are no bears. There isn't. I go back to my suitcase and try to rest. I close my eyes for about 5 seconds- then immediately open my eyes and get my iphone and dial 911, i tell them im stranded, and I don't know where. I tell them about my shipwreck, the boat name, and they find the island. They send police forces out to rescue me, and I fly home safely and return to my mom and dad who hug me and tell me everything's okay.
