A message in a bottle

To the person who finds this bottle: I’m so happy that you have found my message. I’m in a dire situation, my ship sank a couple of days ago due to a collision with an iceberg and only few of us survived, we’ve concluded that only the captain, a couple of sailors and I are still The

captain stubbornly decided to search the wreckage by himself in search for any unconscious passengers, all of our electronic devices aren’t functioning so we’re not able to reestablish contact with civilization from our current location, which just so happens to be a deserted island in the pacific. We’re quickly running low on supplies, and if help doesn’t arrive within a couple of days then we’re destined to perish. I’m kindly asking you to seek help from the authorities as quickly as possible, it’s very likely that that they’re able to do something about the situation, although I might be wrong. I’ve written this letter over a couple of hours, and I’ve managed to gather some personal information about the crewmembers, I’ll list all of the important information at the end of this letter, along with a few heart-touching words from every single individual who’re stranded on this island. Bear in mind that all of what they had to say is meant to be send to their family members and not the media, since I would hate to create too much drama, which is what we need the least at the moment. [NAVN B] looks further down the page, in search for any other information that would help him get an idea of what has actually happened and what caused the ship to sink, although without luck. He lets out a long-drawn out sigh because he stands all by himself without a clue of how to help the stranded survivors, he starts muttering angrily to himself while in a loss for words to say. He lets his thumb run down the piece of paper as he stumbles upon something of interest, it’s a personal message from Samantha! It doesn’t look like we’re going to make it, hopefully my attempt to save the remainders of us won’t be in vain, every single one of us still have so much to live for-.. I know that you’ll be reading this, stranger, so I might as well tell you who I am and how I got to where I currently am. My name’s [NAVN A], I work as a nurse at St. Maria’s hospital, one of the well-known hospitals in Maine. I live alone in my apartment and I decided to try my luck in the game of love, so to speak, which is why I decided to take a trip to the pacific with a person that first came to my mind when it comes to a potential future relationship, it was the perfect opportunity to get to know each other, and he gladly agreed to come along with me, which surprised me quite a bit at first. We truly had a lovely time onboard the ship, and I really felt a strong bond forming between us- but before I even got the chance to ask where he would see the two of us be in ten years, of course hoping that he’d say married or at least in some sort relationship, we felt the boat shaking right beneath our feet as people steadily began to scream in both agony and fear as the boat started tipping over and progressively sinking into the water. We tried to stay calm as we searched for one of the available lifeboats, I kept holding his hand- until the very moment whereas he slipped and fell into the water, and I started screaming in horror as my eyes were flooded with tears. A member of the crew suddenly came and grabbed my hand and led me to one of the lifeboats, I owe him my life for not letting me mourn. That’s how we ended up on this island, writing this letter is the least I could do to make up for what these people have done for me, the rest is up to your sane judgment. I sobbed quietly to myself, but without further due I ran for as long as I could until the very moment I got to the police station, begging them to listen closely to my plea since it might just change the faith of a human being. I collapsed on the floor, and had to
