"What the hell?"
"What's going on, Ember?" calls Adam from the rickety bench that he had sat on to study a map of the Great Lakes.
"The boat won't work!" screams Ember bringing the attention of Andy's presence. "What did you say?" Lisa cries from the cabin door. "Goddammit, the boat won't do anything!" yells Andy.
"L-look out!" Adam says in a outburst that was interrupted by the sound of metal being smashed against hard Canadian shores.
Ccraasshhh-BLAM.
--------
She woke to the smoking heap of boat that was lying against the shore that was damaged by flying debris and items such as food packages blown open, cracked flashlights and torn fabrics.
