Samantha Landon
1210 East Cliff Rd.
Bar Harbor Maine 04605, USA

24th August 2008

To the person who finds this bottle:
I’m so glad that you have found this message.
I am Samantha Landon, and please just read my message. Then I know that someone knows what I have been through.
As I said, I am Samantha Landon and I live at Bar Harbor Maine 04605, USA. Or lived.
Me and my mom and dad went out for this trip at the ocean, in my dad’s new speedboat. It moved so fast, and I just loved to be with my parents. But something happened out there. The boat kept moving faster and faster, and I did not notice it before I saw the cliff right in front of us. I looked scared at my dad, and I could just see in his eyes, that he could not do anything do stop the boat or turn it around.
I turned my head again and I panicked “Where is mom?!” I yelled frustrated. And then it happened. The new fancy speedboat banged into the cliff and then everything was… gone.
I woke up with the worst pain ever in my leg. I would never be able to describe the pain, but the nearest thing is, if you can imagine, is a gigantic rock just laying at your leg, and crushing your bones.
I looked around and I was still lying in the smashed boat. I looked up and saw my dad. There was blood everywhere, and his leg looked very, very weird. It was there all the blood was streaming out from. I felt like throwing up, and I could not understand what just happened. I could see my mom’s bag in the water. She was just floating there lifeless. They were both dead. I started to cry, and I knew that I was going to die too.
But I would not let go without knowing that someone knew what happened to us. So I started writing. Writing this. Writing this with the hope that someday someone will find it, and take the time to read my experience. I do not ask you to do anything with this message, except reading it. That is all that matters, because I am probably dead when you do.

Thanks

    Fish on! Fish on! We were fishing on Eagle Lake Canada and we were headed to our lucky spot by Bird Turd island it is out in the BIG lake. We are fishing on a windy day, we hit a huge 4 foot wave head on and our Crestliner boat capsized. I quickly grabbed my backpack, in my backpack I had a marine radio, a survival kit, sunscreen, and some extra food. We swam to closest island call Bird Turd island. I looked back, all of my belonging were sinking to the bottom of the lake. We were shipwrecked! I was screaming and screaming and screaming for help but no one could hear me. I heard a boat so I screamed so more and no one was there. I was hoping someone was coming. I stayed there for what felt like hours, so I decided to walk around and look at the island. I came across and tiny little shed.…

    My brother just kept on spitting out "come on, Maggie. I know you can do this". I couldn't help but believe him, so yet again, I climbed the ladder. I arrived at the top of the boathouse, and I crept across the black gravel laid out on the roof of the building. It was burning on my feet, since the gravel had absorbed the heat from the sun. Finally, I edged myself to the step up that was the edge. It was metal, so now it was scorching on my feet; even worse than the gravel. I stood there and felt my stomach fill with butterflies. I heard my brother and Daniel acting like typical monkeys and both were taunting me like monkeys--(oops! I mean brothers) do. They yelled things like "don't chicken out this time". It was Samantha and Mara who were cheering me on. I gawked at the rippling water, tightened the straps on my black and yellow life jacket, and shut my eyes tight. I began to dream of hitting the water and as i began to float away, i heard voices in the background slowly chanting: One for the money….. (the pause was endless), two for the show…. (I clenched my fists), three to get ready… (oh, god)… and four to….…

    Last year, a high school student named Corey Swearingen put a letter in a bottle, sealed it up, and dropped it in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Florida coast.

    I was so excited when the plane finally land, I could see my family and friends, but on the other side of me was sadness. My brother picked me up from the airport and took me to his house. I spent the night there and the next morning, we travelled for four hours just to get there, in my dad’s house. Finally, the car stopped in front of the house, and I wondered why there’s a light coming from the house, and why we have lots of visitors. My feet couldn’t step down from the car, but my brother said, “go ahead, he’s waiting for you.” As I walked from the car, I felt my tears coming down and I couldn’t control my emotion. I saw my dad with no life anymore! I was terribly angry and regretful, because if I took my vacation earlier, then maybe I could still spend more time with him.…
