Risky Challenge

I’m quietly listening to my music on the newest aircraft. Suddenly I hear a noise from the cockpit. I jumped from my seat and dashed down to the cockpit. The pilot was having a heart attack. “Can you hear me?” I yell, “Can you hear me?”
I started doing compressions. But it was no use. So I moved him to the side and tried to control the plane. “C’mon, C’mon!” I kept saying to myself.
Then the plane runs out of fuel. That’s when I started to run to an exit. “Oh no! Everybody get out now.” People were panicking while the plane was going down like a plunging rocket. Then the plane hit the water! Sloosh! Me and ten other people escape barely staying away from the flames.
When we got on a life raft we sailed north for shore. When we arrived we told everybody what happened. Lots of people gave us food and blankets, I said “Its fine I have my wallet in my pocket.”
Everyone laughed. And that’s the story of my risky adventure.
