My name is Luka and I’m writing from a small deserted island. Let me tell you how this happened.

I was on a cruise, having a lovely time, when a giant creature hopped out of the water! It was a giant Orca, I’ve never seen anything so massive! I immediately ran for supplies as the boat was shaking uncontrollably. I just knew it will drown. I grabbed some water and cans of food and somehow managed to jump in the water before it was too late. I heard screams as I was swimming towards a small island, the very one I am on right now. I got to the beach and put my backpack in the shadow under a palm tree. I opened it and thankfully no food was lost. No other people survived.

I’ve been here for four days now and my supplies are running out. I think I have enough for just about a week. I saw seven ships passing by, but none saw me. I really hope you get this message and I really hope can notify the authorities. If I’m already gone, find my family and tell them what happened. Maybe for the last time Goodbye!
