Jewquagh Island Journal Entry
My Journal Entries of Survival on Jewquagh Island
This Journal Belongs to Max Young Day 1 I woke up to the sound of the pilot yelling in panic. That’s all I could remember. I was stranded somewhere on an island with not a human to be seen. I was the only survivor on the plane. My t-shirt and jeans were torn up from the crash. I was 13 years old at the time of the crash. My black hair was smeared with blood. I had landed on the shore of a beach. I had been walking on the silky hot sand on the beach for about two hours, and I did not see a single trace of another person. I went in circles three times before I had realized that I had been on an island. I was completely alone on this island.
The heat was scorching and I already had three sunburns. My head was also swelling of extreme pain from the crash. I had bruises on almost every part of my body. I constantly had to go to the ocean to wash all the blood off my body. I had to figure out a way, some sort of way to get back to my home. Tears flowed down my red hot cheeks as I was thinking about my parents. The tears only made my head worse. The bulging pain made me unconscious. Then I fainted into a black picture of nothingness.

I was tossing and throwing the spear for about 45 minutes before I left the mountain with five medium-sized fishes. I used the shirt wrapped around my head to create a bag which would secure the fishes on my way down the mountain. When I reached the shore I started another fire with the glass, the wood, and the leaves. When the fire was good, I attached all five fish onto the wood spear. For a while I rotated the spear on top of the fire to get the fish fully cooked. Soon the fish were ready to eat. I devoured the fish in less time you could say the word fish! They tasted so delicious. The mouthwarming crusty and crunchy fish filled my mouth with satisfaction and pleasure to the point where I was not hungry

    notes from a small island

    In the morning I awoke to find rain falling over the hills in great blown sheets. I breakfasted, settled the bill and spent a protracted period struggling into waterproofs in the front hallway. It’s a funny thing. I dress myself most days without incident, but give me a pair of waterproof trousers to put on and it’s as if I’ve never stood unaided. I spent twenty minutes crashing into walls and furniture, falling into pot plants and, in one particularly notable outburst, hopping on one leg for some 15 feet before wrapping my neck around a newel post.…

For years, we watched him constantly prick his finger to check his blood sugar. Then, the disease, we all had feared my take his life someday, struck with a seizure, that caused him to sink like a rock to the bottom of the lake that night.

    The Car Accident

    • 1101 Words
    • 5 Pages

    It was one of the most terrifying days of my life, the day of my car accident. Disappointment, disbelief, and fear filled my mind as I was lying on my side. I was sandwiched between the cold dirt and the hot metal of the car. The weight of the car was pressed down on the lower half of my body with monster force. It did not hurt, my body was numb. All I could feel was the hood of the car stamping my body farther and farther into the ground. My lungs felt pinched and air would neither enter nor escape them. My mind was buzzing. Where is my brother? What is my father going to think? In the distance, on that cursed road, I saw cars driving by completely unaware of what had happened, or how I felt. I tried to yell but my voice was unheard. I was waiting, waiting for someone to help me, or waiting to die.…

    The worst experience in my life that was personally difficult for me to deal with was a little more brutal and gory than other people’s experiences. I have a feeling that I will never, ever forget the things I saw this day or the things I was feeling. This is something that I still struggle with today because I still have nightmares reliving this day, and seeing everything I saw over and over again.…

    Motorcycle Crash

    • 1982 Words

    On September second, I was riding my motorcycle towards the 76 gas station on 6th Street in Eugene. When I was a few blocks from my destination, a lady in a red Grand Caravan ran a stop sign at the exact time I rode through the intersection. With my horrible luck at that moment, my life flashed before my eyes. She ran it. I tried to lean the bike towards the rear of the car to miss her, but that spawn of Satan hit reverse and I collided with her rear end. My lower torso trapped between the vehicles, I then flew right off my bike over the top of the vehicle and smashed into the middle of the intersection, my left shoulder and head taking the blunt of the impact. At that moment I noticed my left leg looked disfigured in such a way I had never seen. The lower half of my left leg was completely broken in half. I noticed that there were countless people around the accident watching to see what was going on. Several people quickly ran up to me and started holding my head still while keeping me from trying to walk on my leg. Some of them even heard the crash…

    When I came to senses I did not remember anything, not even what day it was, or why I was in the car. As minutes went by I began to consider the gravity of the situation, as my despair as well. Fully awake and angry still I could not move, my shoulder was hurting and something was obfuscating my sight and it was not the rain—I later discovered that it was my own blood. At some point I turned my head to the right and saw an old man standing right outside my car’s broken window pushing a…

    It was an uncomfortable fifteen minute drive that felt like a decade. I hadn't been to my destination in over a year and I was only visiting out of curiosity. I was now at my old house in La Costa in which I had cried many nights prior to leaving. When I arrived I concealed my hands inside of my sweatshirt and put my hood on to shield the sight. My trembling legs tried restraining me from getting out of the car. I missed the house so much.…

    As I unbuckled my seat belt, I tried opening the door but it wouldn’t budge. I noticed the back window was cracked so I crawled my way to the back seat. I pushed and pushed, but the window would not break. At this point, I noticed the fire in the engine compartment starting to get bigger as the flames swayed back and forth, as if they were saying their farewells. It was at this point I decided to take off my shirt and wrap it around my hand. I then began to punch the window as hard as I could. It felt as if I was doing more damage to myself than to the glass. My side was aching and I was almost sure my leg was broken. When I realized I was trapped, I stopped. I suddenly broke into tears and just pictured my wife Susan and my children on my side. I pulled out a picture of my late brother, John, from my wallet and said to him, “Make sure you are waiting for me at the gate”. I heard sirens and I saw flashing lights. Then, I lost consciousness from the smoke.…

    I never thought the day would come and I have to see my ever best friend lying on the dead bed taking his last breathe. Tears rolled down my eyes as I saw him in severe pain, breathing heavily and doctors pressing his chest to help him breathe. I thought to myself that I would never forgive myself for this. He was lying there because of my mistake. If I hadn’t insisted to drive this would have had never happened to him that night.…
