How did it all happen? This was just suppose to be a regular family trip you know the kind of trip to bring my family together. Oh and by the way my name is Ray, wait, I'm getting ahead of myself let me tell you from the beginning..... It was a regular sunny morning in sun shining south Florida was getting up to hearing the garbage truck taking the trash. Rubbed my eyes a bit to take away the tired, got up and shuffled all the way to the bathroom. I turned on the lights to see a 50 year old white man a little gray on the front of his hair, really needing a shave and bags under those green eyes. After shaving an taking a piss, went to go get dressed for todays big news. I entered the kitchen to see my 47 year old wife making breakfast for my two kids. My wife looks like your average woman: blonde hair, medium sized chest and butt, blue eyes that still look like the 27 year old I fell in love with. "Hi honey see you finally got up." said my wife. "Yea I was just tried from last night you know?" I said. "Hey Millie did you get the mail yet?" "I knew I had forgot something!" Millie said. "Hey mom don't forget you have to take me the mall today!" said Isabel. My daughter Isabel was 16 years old, shorter than other girls. She had a mix if my and Millie's hair kinda of ah dirty blonde you know? She had her mother's beautiful eyes. She was like all other teen girls, married to there phones the only time she didn't use it was when she was asleep."NO WAY!!! mom was gonna take me to the arcade today!" said Billy. Billy is my 14 year old son. I swear the kid knows everything especially about being a smart ass. He has my brown hair, he is about 5'6" 5'7", and green eyes. "Mom is taking you guys nowhere. And you wanna know why? Because we are all going on a 3-day vacation!" "Cool!! Are we going to Orlando?!" Billy said. "Nope better." "New York?!" said Isabel. "Nope where going to go on a fishing trip around the keys!!" "Are you kidding me? A fishing trip? That's so lame!!!" said Billy. "Yea dad don't you want us to have fun?" said Isabel. "It will be fun! What's more fun than catching your own giant fish in the wide open deep blue sea?" " I could think of a billion thing's more fun than that in my sleep!" As Billy said that his father slapped him upside his head. "Ow!" "You deserved that!" I said. " Anyways everyone get ready will be leaving in 3 hours!" Now me, Millie, Billy, and Isabel were on are way to the harbor near the keys to get are boat and start are adventure. We arrived at the pier 8 at about 5 pm. The sun was hotter than ever perfect for are trip. We parked are car at a place that would keep it safe for the next 3 days. Lucky us it was right next to the pier. We unpacked everything and headed down to the pier until we got to are boat called "Her Majesty". We packed everything into the boat and shipped off. 3 hours sailing forward I stopped the boat, " Okay guys here's are spot!" said Millie. As I passed the fishing poles to everyone Isabel and Billy were still fighting this trip. Finally fed up with there act I started to yell at them "Why can't you guys just give this trip a try!!!" " Why do you have to bring us on this boring trip!!!" said Isabel and Billy. " Because it's to make are family more closer!" And as soon as I said that ominous clouds covered the entire sky. Also the winds started to blow faster and faster. "What's with the weather all of a sudden?!" said Millie. "Ya it was so peaceful before" said Isabel. Suddenly the waves started to get higher and higher till they got in the boat. "Kids get inside with your mother now!" said Ray. Ray had tried to steer them out of harms way but with no luck what so ever. Knowing he was going to fail he tried to contact the mainland. He grabbed the radio and tuned the frequency "Hello?! This is the boat Her Majesty we are a mile off the shore of the Florida Keys an it seems we are caught in a storm. Does anyone read me?!" Ray was responded by static "Dammit!!! Were on our own." And with that 1 giant wave picked up the ship and flipped them upside down. On contact the ship broke into millions of pieces sending the family all over the place. "Mom!!!" said Billy, he was hugging a broken piece of the ship with Isabel. "Where's your father!" said Millie "He's over there!" said Isabel. They saw their father half standing on a plank of wood trying to paddle to them. But just before he could get to them 1 more wave smashed into them separating them forever. END OF CHAPTER 1 |
