My name is Brian Robeson and I am 13 years
old. Today, my mom is driving me to the
airport to go visit my dad. He lives in Canada
and I visit him every summer. He works at a
oil factory.

While waiting for my plane, I'm having a
conversation with my mom but I'm not
really listening. She handed me a miniature
axe called a hatchet before I left to get on
the plane. I didn't know it would come in
handy.


When I got on the plane, it took us 10
minutes to take off. After we crossed the
Canadian border, the captain felt a pain in
his chest.

Two minutes after he felt the pain, he
tought me how to fly & work the plane. The
captain felt the pain again and again, and
thats when I got worried.






He jerked to the left, and then to the right.
He did this several more times until finally he
stopped moving. I did not know what to do.
The plane was moving on its own for now. I
poked him and then threw up, realizing he
was dead.


I tried to calm myself down & remember
the lessons the dead captain taught me.
That is when it hit me... I must fly into a
lake in order to survive. I remember
seeing lakes before the captain died, but
there was no more.


I finally saw another lake, and I struggled
to crash right in the center. Bam! I hit the
water and quickly trying to unbuckle my
seat belt. After struggling, I was able to
swim to the surface.





When I got to the surface of the lake, my
body was aching from the pain of
drowning. I was so tired from swimming
so hard and fast so I took a nap. When I
woke up there was
bugs all over me.









On the third night, I started building a cave.
One night I heard a sound coming from
entrance, I didn't know what it was so I just
threw my hatchet at it. I missed, and the
hatchet hit the rock and made sparks. Then I
kicked it and it stung me back.









The next morning I found out it was a
porcupine from the spikes in my leg. I then
tried to make a fire with my hatchet after the
sparks from last night. It worked!






The next day I found out how to make a bow,
arrow, & spear (the spear is just an arrow).
Then I went hunting to test them out & I
caught a fish.



The next day I ran into a wolf, I did not
want to harm it because it would call on its
wolf pack. So I just tiptoed away but then
ran into a bear, I did the same thing, and I
had fish for dinner.
