This one is in first person from a certain character's perspective. Enjoy...

I love America. The land of the free and the home of the brave. Or crazy depending on who you ask. All of the sci-fi movies and fantastical movies that take place in America for the world to enjoy? Documentaries. We just have very good cameramen. Twilight doesn’t exist though. It just doesn’t. Honest Abe and his friend, Henry, made sure that never happened.

Why am I writing this? I’m stuck in a boat and I’m bored. I don’t know where it’s going, but that’s fine. I want to see how the rest of the world is coping with or ignoring the state of America.

The security of the boat is terrible! All I had to do was hide inside a cargo container in the dead of night. Unfortunately, when they put the container I was in on the ship, it got sandwiched between two other containers. Should have expected that, honestly. Good thing I brought a pen, some paper, and a flashlight!. No snacks though… Man this is gonna suck. At least I have a water bottle.

Day two! A little thirsty, but that can wait for tomorrow. Regrets are already setting in, but I am comforted. I shouldn’t mess with whatever is in here. Don’t want to cause anyone any unnecessary problems. The only thing I can do is bang on the wall and hum.

Day three. I drank all my water, sweet relief. I am beginning to hear voices. A lack of food and water will do that to a person. Voice sings. Screams hurt. Mind burns. All in all, the delirium is keeping me from going insane.

~~~~

Four day! Last longer cannot be! A mistake. Light almost dead. No touch people stuff! Not nice. Not nice. Desert rising in throat. Head fuzzy. No water. Soon will be done. Soon.

Ok. I heard the ship horn. I must be close to shore. Well, nothing like going insane to keep my sanity. All I need to do is wait a little longer.

The crane lifted my crate up, it’s almost time to go. Wish me luck! Hopefully I’m somewhere where I can understand the language.
