Marooned

WALT: include writing steps
The ship violently lurched to the side throwing me against the rail. It was then I realised we were all going to die. The cry of the seagulls woke me. The sun beating down on me made me feel like I was back in my warm, safe bed. I groggily pulled myself to my feet. I glanced around at my surroundings. I seemed to be on a tropical island filled with trees. I looked down at myself . My denim shorts were tattered and my shirt was ragged and torn. I looked at my watch. It was completely smashed. I pulled it of and dropped it onto the sand , not needing it anymore. I explored the island and after about half an hour I saw something glinting in the sand. I sprinted over to it. It was my watch. Then I realised I was marooned. I fell to my knees not knowing what to do. Then I heard rushing water. I stood up and followed the sound into the trees. Suddenly sunlight burst through the trees and I had to cover my eyes. I pushed through the tree line and in front of me was a small fresh water river. I leapt in letting the water swallow me up. When I floated to the surface I had completely forgotten my problem. I didn't hear the rush of the water until it was too late. The water had disappeared over a waterfall. I scrambled for a handhold but my hands couldn't find one in the mud on the banks. I was going over the waterfall. I let out a yell but I was silenced by a mouthful of water. I spluttered and broke the surface. I looked up at the waterfall and couldn't help laughing. The waterfall was only a meter high! I pulled myself out of the water and started through the trees back to the coastline. As I stepped into the trees I tripped over something and as looked up and I saw I was in a rubber escape raft. I rolled over and let out a scream sending a flock of birds. There, lying next to me, was a skeleton. I quickly pulled myself over the side of the raft breathing heavily. I stood up and stared at the skeleton. It was yellowed by age, and was wearing a red t shirt and black jeans. I was about to drag the skeleton out of the raft when I heard a ticking sound. I rolled the skeleton over and lying there was a bomb. I bolted off through the trees weaving around them then KA-BOOM the bomb exploded just as I burst through the trees and threw myself on to the sand. When I woke up I seemed to be in a medical bay. I pulled myself off the bed and remembered what had happened. The bomb exploding, a black helicopter, being taken to the aircraft carrier, being told everything was going to be alright. "Well, thank you Lachlan for that amazing story. Next time tell us something real" Miss Armstrong said disapprovingly. As I walked back to my desk I knew that they were wrong. All wrong.
