The Storm
Waves upon waves strike the boat causing it to rock violently. Captain Bill was running around the ship franticly getting the life boat ready for his grandson (mark). Moments later a large wave collapsed on the boat tearing it to pieces until nothing was left but rubble and pieces of wood.
When Mark arrived at nightfall it was raining and the wind speed was over 90 miles an hour. He notified the police, but they said it was too dark stormy to go looking for his grandfather. After weeks of searching they pronounced him dead. The family mourned for several days until the phone rang at their house. It was their grandfather. He told them the elaborated tale of how he survived during the hurricane.
After The current pulled him under the popped back up near a large piece of wood. He grabbed the wood and saw a canteen of water floating in the water. He survived off that until he reached land and used the nearest phone possible. Later that week he was reunited with his family. - Collin
