her grave as i laid her down. I gave her one more kiss before I pulled myself back out. I looked down at the deep grave. At her beautiful face. “I love you forever.” I whispered back as kicked the sand, beginning to fill her up. Her smile, her voice, her lips, her eyes were my only memory now. I will always remember Jaclyn Flores. Once her grave was done, the sun was shining high up at the light blue sky. I felt the heat of the sun burn on me. I managed to find a heavy rock and a rock that was made out of chalk. On the front of the rock I wrote:

JACLYN NICOLE FLORES
BORN-1994 DIED-2011
Beloved daughter, mother and wife
J&b forever


I wiped my tears away as I stood back up. I threw the rock to the side as I began to walk away. One thing I promise is that I will find a way out of here. For Jaclyn and my daughter. I was ready to face again the darkness of the island that faced me. I swore i will never give up until I find a way out……………

Walking inside the island for 2 whole days without any sleep and getting weaker and tired every day. It was a hard two days but like I said I wasn’t going to give up. I went through cold nights and even heavy rain but that didn’t stop me. My mind was focused. As I climbed a steep muddy hill, holding a strong thick stick for support, my feet were sinking in the gooey mud. This was a different path I discovered, one I never saw before but because it was hidden. As I reached the top, I pushed the thick leaves aside and my heart stop at what I saw next. Right in front of me was a shallow beautiful sea that was see- through and you could see the white sand underneath it. Throwing my stick I carried, I ran toward it. Running as fast as I can. I just hope this isn’t an illusion. Like the days I thought I saw Jaclyn calling for me. But it wasn’t… when I got there the cool ocean water hit my legs, soaking my ragged blue jeans. I smiled and fell on my knees. I FOUND IT! I can’t believe I found the way out! I laughed at loud as I splashed the water on my face. It was the happiest moment of my life! I fell in the ocean and looked up at the sky. “I found it Jaclyn…I found it” I said to myself. Tears of joy filled my eyes as I thought back about Jaclyn. How happy she would have been. I sat up and looked around. It was a long trail… but where did it lead to? Standing up again, I followed it….

But what happens next, breaks my heart again…
just a few feet away I spotted tall buildings…city buildings…and as I walked closer I noticed docks…with boats tied around it…what? This can’t be?? My heart dropped. I recognized the place… and I saw an empty dock where I knew who it belonged to. This was the dock that Jaclyn and I left in for our vacation. I dropped on my knees and yelled up to the sky. Slamming my fist to the water as it jumped on me and making a muffle thump! On the sand I pounded my fist on….
If only Jaclyn was still alive for the next two days we would have been saved because we were not far away as we thought we were. We were only 5 maybe less minutes away from the town where we lived…..

THE END.
