Right now, I am in the middle of a stormy ocean swimming for my life. Honestly, I had no idea how I got here as the last thing I remembered was eating dinner with my family. But one thing for sure was I had to keep myself away from drowning. My mind was racing thinking how am I going to get out of this bizzare situation and if there was anyone out there to rescue me.
Out of the blue, a boat appeared with a lady on it as if my prayers had been answered. She was calling out to me, sounding very desperate to get her voice to reach me. I know, I know. Most of you would probably think that this was a bad idea as it could be those kind of spirits you see in the movies or documentary shows that tries to lure you into the ocean with their charming voice so that they could drown you. But I don't really have much of a choice now do I? She has a boat and I need a boat to keep myself alive. With that sense of hope, I mustered all my energy and swam towards the boat at full speed.
As I swam closer to her, I started to get a better image of her where she looked very familiar like I have seen her somewhere before. Though I could'nt see her face, she had beautiful red crimson hair that burns bright like the scorching sun and a devilish body that can make a man fall in love at first sight. But I can't fall in love now as if I do, I think I will fall into the bottom of the ocean first. I began to reach my hand out believing salvation is in my hands and suddenly, everything went pitch dark. It was too dark for me to know what was dragging me down into the ocean bed. I kept struggling, trying to break free but the harder I tried, the tighter it has its grip on me. At last all hope was lost. My strength starts to fail me and I was losing conscious. In my last few moments, I wished I get the chance to know who she was as it felt like it was something important that I should not forget. My body began to sink into the abyss until not a single ray of light could be seen.

*Thud* The next thing I realized was I had fell off from bed and landed onto the cold morning floor. I heaved a sigh of relief that it was just a bad dream. But I started to question that dream as everything about it felt real especially her. As I was bathing, I kept pondering on who could she be as I don't remember having a girlfriend or a crush on any girls. "Ok I am done with the bathroom, who wants to use it next." I waited for a respond but after a few moments, I remembered the harsh reality that my parents are not around anymore.
About a week ago, my parents got killed in a building explosion which was believed to be a terrorist attack. I was one of the few lucky surviovrs to have escaped death. It was a really bleak day for me as it took me about 5 days trying to get over their deaths. They were supposed to wish me a happy birthday when I woke up but I guess that is not happening anymore. As I turned on the television to watch the news, my heart was seething with rage as the terrorist was being mentioned. The terrorist group was known as The Calling where they believed that they were chosen by God to cleanse the impurity from this world. Lately they have been very active stagging attacks all around the world as if they have a motive for doing it. I hated the fact that they used God as an excuse to take innocent lives and I wish I had the power to put an end to them but sadly, I am in reality where I am just an ordinary human being. My name is Dante and on my 18th birthday, a new begining is about to begin.
