Shipwrecked (Choose Your Own Adventure)

Three

"Well, Paulie," you say, "looks like we're going to have to swim for it."

"Swim?!" Paul repeats. "Do you have any idea what sea water will do to my hair?"

"Do you have any idea what sea water will do to you if you inhale too much of it?" you retort. "Come on, get in a lifeboat. We're taking the dive."

"Are you crazy?" says John, slipping on about five different sized life jackets. "It's utter chaos out there! We'll never make it!"

"Yes, we will! Grab whatever you can and stuff it in the lifeboat! Come on!"

In about five minutes, the five of you are crammed knee-to-knee in the tiny lifeboat, surrounded by all sorts of paraphernalia. You carefully lower the boat and land gently on top of the water's surface.

"We did it!" George and John cry in unison.

"Well done, babe!" Paul says, kissing your cheek.

Ringo doesn't say anything because his head is still shoved inside the sick bucket.

The ship is long gone after a while, and your little group of five is left adrift in the big, blue ocean. There's no sign of land anywhere. Things look hopelessly lost and you're wondering how it could get any worse... then it does.

A huge dorsal fin is heading towards your little lifeboat. You begin to panic. If that fin belongs to what you think it does, then you could be in a spot of bother.

You have two options here: paddling away from the fin, or you could stay where you are and fight it.

If you choose to try paddling away from the sinister looking fin, go to Four.

If you choose to face whatever creature is swimming towards you, go to Five.
