Story

It's just that my parents wouldn't listen. Maybe I should start at the beginning. It was time to depart from Port Shaw. I was already on the cruise playing in the arcade. According to the captain, we had one hour until we reached the Bermuda Triangle. To everybody else on board, it was a learning experience. To me, it was death. A minute, thirty minutes, forty-five minutes, and then finally, an hour passed. “We have reached the Bermuda Triangle,” echoed the captain's voice on the intercom. We had a few minutes of smooth sailing, and then all of a sudden, the cruise started to rock back and forth. Soon, the intercom came on again.

“We're having some rough waters, no need to worry,” said the captain trying to relax the passengers, but I knew the real problem. The powers of the Bermuda Triangle were awakening on us. Its angry waves were only results of its madness due to our trespassing into its territory. Soon, the ship actually started to sink. In reality, this was a slow and gradual process, but in my mind, it was faster than a cheetah. Above me, on the 5th floor, I heard screaming and shouting. Through my peripheral vision, I saw something that caught my eye. I peered through the window, only to spot something that was seen in the imaginations of the most creative of men; thousands of undead soldiers leaping out of old war ships with swords and guns.

The soldiers were rapidly advancing on the cruise, but this was only a minor problem compared to what I witnessed next. A huge, basilisk-like sea dragon blasted through the water and with its fang-like teeth, it clenched the stern of the ship. In no time at all, the soldiers were already pouring onto the cruise. I quickly took a chair and lifted it to the window and smashed it to shards. I then proceeded to jump out of the window. Falling from that height was very scary, but it was also thrilling to feel the wind rushing against my face. I landed in the frigid water with a loud plop. By then, the cruise was already engulfed by the sea monster. All of the people on the cruise had either stayed on board to welcome the monster's mouth or hurdled out the window just like me. I turned around and witnessed the most amazing sight ever. About 50 fighter planes emerged from the horizon. The unusual thing was that nobody was driving them. The planes bombed the ocean waters, badly injured the sea monster, and then flew off in the mist. Due to its bad wound, the monster fled back into the deep, dark waters of the Atlantic. Most of the soldiers were dead and floating in the water.

WEEAAAW! WEEAAAW! These strange noises were followed by a series of eerie lights. I turned around to find what no man has ever observed; two real life flying saucers! The powers of the Bermuda Triangle were only going to become worse. The spaceships abducted many people. Mass destruction was occurring everywhere, and I had to do something or else I would never live to tell the tale. By now, the only things still in the water were some of the survivors, the UFO's, and a few dozen army men. Quickly, I swam over to one of the dead, floating bodies of an army soldier and took one of his grenades and his grenade launcher. I loaded the grenade into the launcher and fired upward toward the UFO's underside. The grenade went inside and apparently blew up, because all of the passengers in the UFO died.

The UFO fell out of the skies and landed into the water with a crash. I commanded everyone to the ship. Everyone swam over to the great space vehicle. I climbed aboard and found three-horned alien bodies scattered on the floor. I threw them all out and told every one to take over one part of the ship. I, of course, was captain. I took control of the UFO's command system. I pressed a button that I could not read due to the foreign message encrypted below it. The UFO blasted with life and started to hum. It slowly rose toward the sky. Once we were a hundred meters above the water, I slammed the directional controls forward. The UFO speed meter was already at 1, meaning that the craft was traveling at one light-year per second. Yes, I know at that speed we circled Earth a dozen times (really, I got tired of seeing the Eiffel Tower a dozen times).

Finally, we landed somewhere on the east coast of Florida. The crew all thanked me (except for one lady who smothered me in hugs and kisses). Well, that was one heck of an exciting day. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, both of my parents made it through the journey. It turns out that on the UFO, they were just lost in the dissection lab. But, they found their way out once we landed. Well, now I can say that was on heck of a day! I wonder what the next trip on a cruise will be like.
