I wake up freezing cold. When I come to, I realized I'm on a boat. My eyes meet the sky, it's a pale pink with hues of red. This told me that it must be sunrise. I shift my weight, preparing to stand. Once I begin this, it becomes difficult. I feel weak and my head begins to hurt. Confusion washes over me, as I try to figgure out what I am doing on a boat. I look to the other end of the boat.. to see if I am with someone. Maybe they might know why I am here. When nobody appears to be on the deck with me, I make my way to the bottom of the boat. And look to see if anyone is there. It is hard to tell because it is dark. After searching for a switch, I find one. WIthin seconds the room is awash with bright flurescent light. To my dismay, there is nobody down here either. Panic floods my heart. It becomes clear, that I am on this boat alone. I have no recolection of getting on. And for some strange reason, my head wont stop hurting. I lie down on the cot.. trying to remember what happened. But I am lost. 2008-05-12T01:59:46Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/30150 <p>I agree, the atmosphere here is wonderfully presented. It&#8217;s interesting how you took such a seemingly peaceful picture and crafted a tense, ominous story out of it.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30150?basename=61706 2008-05-12T01:59:46Z Ana Cristina http://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78 <p>Mysterious.
