I looked around and all I see is white. White walls, white tile floors, white ceiling, and one white table. Even the hospital gown I am wearing is whi...te. I also realize there was an acute pain coming from my back. At most it is mildly irritating. ‘Boss, she’s awake.’ The voice came from behind me from someone I couldn’t see. ‘Where’s Grant?’ No answer. I can hear the man’s breathing getting heavy. He was nervous to be alone with me. A minute later, the door opened and in walked Samantha. I saw that Melinda had been trying to call me. There’s nothing I can say to her right now. There was a time if I had seen her kissing some guy, my attitude toward her would been the guys gonna get lucky but now, it hurts ... a lot.I decided to take a walk around the boat. It wasn’t likely I would run into her with three thousand people on the ship. I found a bar boy and got a drink then sat in a lounge chair in a nice secluded area. I was just watching the ocean when I spotted her with her boy. Et me first say that this is a real story, just as all of my other stories. Nothing is made up and nothing is exaggerated.

I totally derailed his plan. Maybe that’s what the whole thing was – I was meant to be there with that menagerie.
