The Bermuda Triangle

chapter 1: three days before departure

          The plane took a speed faster than lightning I could feel the burn in front of the plane and I quivered in fear I thought it was the last sight taste touch smell and noise I would feel. three days before me and my family were planning a trip to Haiti my only brother Jacob said to me, "Andre do you really want to go that far out I don't especially through air it is very terrifying and I don't think i'm made for this".i replied in serious attitude, "Jacob you never know what you are made of if you don't even try it, trust me, never judge a book by its cover". He looked at me and said, "you are right I thank the lord for the wise man that once said that. Rest in piece grampa". I   could feel the tears running out, it hadn't been so long since my grandpa had rested from our world. I felt guilt at ignoring his every word and advice he was the wisest man I knew he always had a saying a solution or a joke to help you fix the problem. my father came and said, "guys mom made a delicious lunch for us to enjoy". moms lunch was always the best, and oh boy i couldn't wait to have some to satisfy my greed. we went into the kitchen and we found on the table a delicious pot of rice and beans, beside it was a pan of chicken, ham with salad and fruit punch. this was one i knew i could never say no to, i rushed to the table i was actually the first to be served, i took a bite of my chicken and my heart beat regulated i drank some punch and i could feel the weather change from hot to cool. this was a magical lunch, it was also the lunch where we would sit and discuss our travel to Haiti. we were all eating and my mom said, "let us start, we have the tickets and i personally think we should not let them go to waste". my dad said, "she is totally right we should take this trip it could benefit us all". when my mom spoke my dad had to  agree to what she said. Jacob took courage and spoke from his fears and said highly, " i do not think we should go what if the plane crashes on our way going or coming back those transports cant  be trusted". my dad said, "what do you mean? those planes have had many flights they are perfectly stable and working". Jacob said, "and the fact that its been used so much is why we shouldn't go in what if the engine stops working". my dad said, "these air crafts are well taken care of they are checked before flight". i was quiet then my dad asked, "Andre what do you think we should do? " the eight words i fear the most were sumond out, i stuttered, "w-well i'm not sure it does sound interesting" my brother looked at me with a steer so i said, "on the contrary it could be dangerous". i thought my brother had made up his mind that he is going. my mother said, " don't you want to go spend time by the beach, visit the sights and go shopping". my brothers weakness was shopping because he loved his appearance more than anything, and it was surprisingly amazing. by the time we knew it, we all agreed to go to  Haiti. i was so over joyed to know that we were all going to go to such a wonderful place, i was seeing a wonderful beach with blue, blue oceans and yellowish sand that blend together just right.

the next morning i woke up on the floor i had fallen off my bed in the night. Jacob said, "you really are a sound sleeper". and began to laugh his lungs out. i said angrily, "don't push me you know what i am capable of, and i wont hesitate". my brother shut his mouth immediately and gave me a fearless look and said, "if you think i'm afraid of you boy then you are confused". i grabbed a glass jar beside me and threw it towards him, but he managed to dodge it, the glass came"Pling!" it shattered itself on the wall making every part of it turn to little peaces of shards. my mom rushed in and asked, "what is the matter?" and she got a good glimpse of the death look in my eyes they were red and in them were no fear. she told my brother to leave, and said, "Andre let us talk" i walked out and burst in tears i was afraid of no one but myself and i went to the mango tree behind our house which was full of mangoes that the tree could almost fall it was huge had green leaves and the mangoes were delicious i climbed up the tree with ease because i was and excellent climber, and no one could keep up with me. when i cooled down and could talk i entered my house just to hear my parents talking about how they want to cancel the trip. my dad said, "i don't think its the best idea to have a family trip after a stunt like this" my mom responded, "i completely agree but the only problem is that we already bought the tickets , but just think about it our kids could do team activities". my dad responded, "i'm not sure but we could try it, it never hurts to try". i was so happy i went to my room got five dollars and went to buy a pack of chocolate to celebrate at Mrs. Maggi's shop. i said, "good evening Mrs. Maggi can i get a pack of chocolate". she asked, "what kind Andre". i said, "the round ones Mrs". she asked, "are you celebrating something". i said, "nothing much mam i'm just relieved". she responded, "ok then, have a good day". i said, "as well to you mam", and i left. night came and i still hadn't finished eating my chocolate i went to a corner of my village where me and my friends always met. when i told them the news they brought cigarettes, rum and more for a celebration. i came home late and drunk i went straight to bed.

the next morning i woke i had no idea what i had done the night before that, but it didn't really matter because i was going to get ready to leave. i grabbed both my suitcases and began to pack. my mom came in and said, "happy much about the trip". i replied, "you have no idea". she said, "we need to say good bye to your aunt, grandma and godparents". i said, "sure that will be a breeze, have you packed?" i asked, she replied, "do you know what time it is? of course i have already packed.it is five pm". i could believe so i checked my phone when i looked my eves could have fallen out, i couldn't believe the time. my mom said, "we will go say good bye while you finish packing"  they left. when they returned it was nine pm and i had already finish packing, i also made dinner.  white rice with corned beef egg and beans with tortilla we ate delicious my mom ended the meal saying a prayer and said, "remember we will wake up at 9 to get ready for departure at one pm. but i didn't go to sleep i had a bottle of rum under my pillow and as soon as every one went to sleep i took it out and went outside to drink. it was a bottle of red top and as soon as i was finished i went inside but i fell on the ground and fell asleep their it was a good thing i left the bottle of rum behind the house because it would have woken up every one. it was the day of departure and my family was staring me on the floor and asked, "why did you sleep there". i answered, "i must have fallen off the couch when i was asleep last night because of watching television". my mom said, "well lets get ready now we spent two entire hours getting ready, i wore a a gold and black DR shirt with a black pants and gold shoes, my brother did the same as well as my father, and my mom wore a black and gold dress with gold high heals we really wanted to look like a family we drove to the airport and we were lucky enough to make after an hour of travel and time of traffic. it was the last call for that flight and we entered the airplane.
