I remember all the people I killed, and all the lies I was fed. I swim to shore and set my leg. My plane does not sink. I wait on the island. I swim to my ship, attach ropes and pull with each memory of life I've taken. I repair her....Good as new. They will remember me...I'll make them pay. They will never catch me...
