3rd Jun 2011 22:12 This is the story of a sixteen-year-old boy named John, and his father Mike. Mike is a marine biologist. They have both lived on a private island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean since John was first born.
As John sat in a deep, dark, damp hole with old roots and bones sticking out of its walls, sweat ran down his dirt-covered forehead. He was terrified of when the lofty, dreadful man would return. He started to think of a way out of the horrid place he was thrown into, when a long rope ladder quickly flung down into the hole. Stunned, he fell backwards onto the rough, dirt floor. He quickly stood up and took hold of the ladder. ???This is my only chance of getting out of here,??? he thought. So he slowly started making his way up the ladder, not knowing what he???d see when he reached the top. John was almost up the ladder when two delicate hands reached down and grasped his right arm, pulling him up onto the ledge of the hole.
A few days earlier???
On a bright summer morning, like any of the other beautiful mornings on the island, Johns father went out on his motor boat in the ocean to do some research on a new species of squid he had discovered earlier that week. After his father had gone, John decided to go for a walk. As John slowly walked out of his house, he made his way for a path his father had made in one of the islands forests.
On each side of the forest was a small creek, brightly colored tropical flowers, large birch trees and many different kinds of shrubs and leafy plants. Every once in a while, John would spot a parrot or two, and even a few chimpanzees while walking down the path.
After about an hour of walking, he made it out of the forest to a part of the island he hadn???t been before. It was a small, rocky beach. Waves were crashing against the rocky shore, seagulls diving down to the water to catch their lunch, and a few seals lying on large brown rocks in the hot sun.
John looked around for a moment, and then he spotted a small sailboat tied to a palm tree that was close to the water. He didn???t see the owner around, so he decided to go check out the boat. Inside, he only found a few old blankets and some other needed excessories for sailing. He thought it wasn???t anything to worry about so he decided to head back home.
As John was walking back down the path, he had heard a strange noise in the bushes. Scared, he quickly started running. He heard a gunshot close behind him. John quickly ran off the trail to hide. As he was maneuvering through trees, not paying attention, his head slammed into a large branch and he passed out.
DUN DUN DUN!!
