Surviving A Castaway

Chapter 2

Day 13

I just saw a freaking shark! It was so close to my raft I could almost touch it. I never thought a shark could get as big as it looked. I wonder what kind it was. Anyways I'm down to one can of peaches and a can of sardines in food. I have been catching fish but its population near the raft is starting to dwindle. My skin hurts. I'm tired. But at least I still got water. No land or rescue in sight.

Day 15

I lost my hook. I'm not sure what happened but I think a fish stole it. Damn fish. I have some dried fish on a board I've kept but that will only hold me for so long. I need to start making a new hook out of one of the nails. I wonder is there is a way for me to make a weight so I can catch bigger fish. I'm running low on the tomato chunks I've been using as bait. They are all dried up anyways.

Day 18

I killed and ate a seagull today. It tried to steal some fish on my raft that was died. Killing the seagull felt different than killing those fish to eat. It kind of hurt but I had to do it. I sun cooked the seagull after plucking out its feathers. I wonder if I can make something of the feathers, at least the ones that didn't fly away due to the wind. On another note, I saw another shark. It was just as big as the last one but this one was to far to really see what it looks like. Do you think it's possible to train sharks? I could be like Shark Boy from Shark Boy and Lava Girl.

Day 19

I vomited this morning. The seagull did not sit well. I have cold sweats even in the boiling heat. Everything hurts. I think I might die. Death by seagull was not the way I wanted to go.
