In the darkest days of my life, I learned that beyond was the only way forward. To look past the crippling evil that laid besides me as I shut my eyes, waiting to fall asleep. I had learned to block some things that had taken advantage of my sanity. This is my story.
My name is Mike and I go to Leaven's High school. After school me and my buddies like to go play volleyball on the beach or just have a couple of beers and chill. Tired of our everyday routine, we decide to cross a bucket list item that we have been putting off for many reasons. We wanted to go out to Morgano Island. Morgano Island is an ancient island, 10 miles from the coast. I say its ancient because legit nobody goes there for over 3 years now because of what happened to some teenagers that decided to camp there. The story goes, the teenagers decided to venture out into the ocean at night to reach Morgano Island. When they arrive, they began their adventures and eventually get lost. With no food nor water, the 5 teenagers either get eaten by the animals on Morgano, or they starve and die. Nobody knows for sure what happened because the sheriffs won't tell us anything, not even the parents knew. A pair of shoes were retrieved from Morgano and a policeman held guard by the shore of our island for 3 years nonstop taking shifts just so nobody else would venture out. A couple of days ago, the guards stopped coming and that's when we decided to be men. There was Luke, Bryant, Daniel and I. Daniel ended up flaking because his cousin was one of the teenagers that died there. Now, we weren't planning on camping at Morgano, but we still decided to bring all the necessary supplies for a week-long stay, just for precaution. I had told my parents that I was sleeping over at Luke's, and Luke said the he was sleeping at mine, so did Bryant, we were those kinds of assholes. Spring break had just begun and that gave us the perfect opportunity to go crazy. We stocked up on food, snacks, beer, clothing, and shrooms. I got my dad's boat that had a lower deck with 2 bunk beds. It was the perfect getaway. I had dreamed of one day setting sail on Lucy, the boat, and never returning home. But right now, we had to hurry up and pack our shit, so we can get to Morgano by sun set. Even though the island was 10 miles away, it was hard to get to because of the extreme waves, plus we had a few to many bears before setting sail, so it took an extra 2 hours, or so it seemed. Beer slows you down mentally and physically. We were about 5 minutes away from the shore of Morgano Island, it was so beautiful and big and peaceful, and the sun had just started setting. The sky filled with bright red and orange as we finally reached the shore. At this point we had all decided that we would however camp for a day or two because there is no way any of us are stable to take Lucy out again. Our parents won't worry because of the scandal we pulled so it wasn't that big of a deal. Just as I was about to get some firewood, something hit me. I have no idea how much gas Lucy has left and i sure as hell didn't get any. "Um guys? I think I forgot the gas for the boat at home." I said, slurring my words. "Are you foreal bro? You had one job you didn't even have to bring the food only the boat and the gas! What the hell man how are we supposed to get back?" Luke screamed at me. "Yo, chill fam, I saw that Mike didn't bring the gas, so I went and bought some at the gas station while y'all was pissin and shit." Bryant said. Thank God! I was so happy and drunk that I just jumped at Bryant to give my man a well-deserved hug. "So how about that firewood Mike?" Bryant asked me. "Right on it sir." I joked.
