as sunny as they first seen. And now as all
4
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.039

36

little early, head over to Facebook and type in Weekly

Spookies Tomb of Terror. It doesn't cost you a penny,
38
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.680
and it's a place where myself, all of the other
39
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.159
spookies and our authors hang out and have a little
40
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.520
bit of fun. But speaking of fun, it's about time
41
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.879
to go on a little vacation. But Unfortunately, sunburn will
42
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.840
be the least of your worries. We'll get to that
43
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:23.240
right after these quick messages. The Last Vacation by Mike
44
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:31.639
Ashkewey February first, twoenty twenty four. I wanted a car
45
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.439
for my eighteenth birthday. Instead, I got a really expensive
46
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.879
journal and pen. My mom said she wanted me to
47
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.400
remember the best days of my life and told me
48
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.560
to write them down so I wouldn't lose them on
49
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.919
the web or to a server outage. So this is
50
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.159
my attempt at doing just that. Maybe she'll be right,
51
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.240
maybe she won't, but it'll kill some time on our
52
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.759
family vacation I didn't ask for. Most kids would be
53
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.719
thrilled for fun in the sun, but I burn easily.
54
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.000
I don't wear revealing outfits outside of a hoodie, and
55
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.240
I don't like people much. My stepmom, Jill told me
56
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.759
that she met my dad Peter on an ancient website
57
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.319
called live journal, back when dinosaurs roamed the internet. Both
58
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.079
really value the written word, but didn't always agree with
59
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.360
the format or forum. So for the next twelve days,
60
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.920
I'm stuck here with my stupid step brother Roger, and
61
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.639
my parents in a tropical paradise, trapped on a boat
62
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.439
filled with escapees from the Old Folks Home and boomers
63
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:52.519
looking for new places to have sex. Gross. Look, I'm
64
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.560
not stupid. I know I should be thrilled for this
65
00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.279
family vacation, but I can read between the lines. Jill
66
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.000
and Peter are going to get a divorce. Honestly, I'd
67
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.160
be surprised if they made it to the summer. Roger
68
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.560
and I both heard the fighting over Christmas time, holly
69
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.079
jolly yelling, screaming and sobbing, followed by lots of nights
70
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.839
watching Dad sleep on the couch and crying himself to sleep.
71
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.279
I hadn't heard him cry like that since my mom died,
72
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.639
my real mom. What happened between them? I don't know,
73
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.959
and I don't really care. This is some desperate attempt
74
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.079
to show that we're still fine, that we can still
75
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.079
be a family. But I know when the clock is
76
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.360
about to run out. It's not like Jill sucks either
77
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.360
or my dad is perfect. Sometimes things just don't work out.
78
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:52.920
Sometimes I'm handling it fine, I can deal, But Roger
79
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.560
is taking it hard. Sure he's sixteen, in pretty tough
80
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.639
in a lot of ways, but he's hurting He'll be okay, though,
81
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.759
even if me and Dad leave, He'll get a football
82
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.560
scholarship and be into girls, beer bongs and concussions. He'll
83
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.399
be okay. I'm off to college in the fall, and
84
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.319
then I can finally leave Cincinnati in the rear view
85
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.439
and start my life any place that isn't Ohio. Ronda
86
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.759
Canavan has bigger ambitions than managing a Starbucks until I'm
87
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.800
dead or working at Walmart till I'm wearing depens. Maybe
88
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.279
these are the best days of my life. Right. Sometimes
89
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.920
I even believe that I'm so tired from driving down
90
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.800
I seventy five to Fort Lauderdale, listening to shitty political
91
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.759
radio and Taylor Swift SAPs my will to live. My
92
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.319
parents told me radio wasn't only shit, but I have
93
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.759
a hard time believing that. Time to settle into the
94
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.680
hotel room for the night. Tomorrow we board the cruise
95
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.319
ship and start our whirlwind tour of places I never
96
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.360
had any intention of visiting anyway. Of course, the fucking
97
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:06.800
Wi Fi doesn't even work in this place. February second,
98
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.560
twenty twenty four, spent most of the day boarding this
99
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.279
giant cruise ship, the vanguard of the seas. It's like
100
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.319
being on an aircraft carrier. The ship is absolutely huge
101
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.040
and just full of people and stuff to do. There
102
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.240
are tons of options for food, entertainment, pools, and even
103
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.160
casinos and amusement park. Shit saw so many types of
104
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.560
different people, not just people collecting Social Security either, and
105
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.040
quite a few kids close to Rogers in my age,
106
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.680
a collection of America and likely the world, just all
107
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.240
intermixing and expecting to have a good time and spend
108
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.439
a buttload of cash while doing it. I don't want
109
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.079
to imagine how much my parents paid for this trip,
110
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.639
but I hope it didn't come out of my college fund.
111
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.600
Makes me glad. I've saved up a bunch of money
112
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.480
from working at Starbucks and doing other kids homework at school.
113
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.240
Girls got a pay her bills, and I have expensive hobbies,
114
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:12.800
nerdy hobbies. Okay, one expensive hobby, but it's how I
115
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.199
met my friends Trey Owen and Jenna. We all played
116
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.959
Dungeons and Dragons together Wednesday nights after work. I float
117
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.120
the bill for the books, maps and the little game Chochkeys.
118
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.600
Roger always comes in and starts quoting Game of Thrones
119
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.040
at us, though we all had a laugh when I
120
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.960
kicked him in the balls last year and called myself Kalisa,
121
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.960
breaker of balls. It's okay. He got back at me
122
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.200
when he snapped my bra so hard it bent a
123
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.879
clasp and left a nasty welt on my back for
124
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.360
a week. After we all had family dinner, I started
125
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.480
wandering around the upper deck of the ship. Jill and
126
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.720
Dad went off to do some couples stuff, I think,
127
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:56.720
and Roger is off doing Roger things, my guess, is
128
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:03.120
likely trying cheesy pickup lines on girls, trying and failing badly.
129
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.480
It's pretty out here, and sure as hell beats the
130
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:11.200
urban decay of America's least memorable city. I don't hate it,
131
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.279
but it's so painfully boring and dull. I just don't
132
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.240
want to end up like my parents, working jobs they hate,
133
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.399
in a city they hate, and in a marriage that
134
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.080
is falling apart. I planted myself in a deck chair
135
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.600
and just watched the stars tonight. Typically you get light
136
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.200
pollution from the city and you don't see a lot
137
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.320
except the moon. If I had a boyfriend, or hell
138
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.960
even a girlfriend, this would be romantic. But nope, just me,
139
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:45.080
my oversized hoodie, a little book, and my pen. It's
140
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.879
weird though. Tonight the sky is all sorts of odd colors,
141
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.360
and I don't think it's the aurora or anything like that.
142
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.879
I know the news before we left had mentioned something
143
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:59.480
about some space stuff happening this week. I wasn't really listening,
144
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.320
but it does look cool at least, swirling greens and purples,
145
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.679
all sorts of different colors. But they feel wrong somehow.
146
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.799
Some of the stuff that relies on cell signals and
147
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.919
Wi Fi is being affected too. Can't maintain a stable connection,
148
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.320
and so I can maybe see my social media for
149
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:25.159
all of like five seconds. I suppose it's better that way.
150
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.840
I'm supposed to be out here enjoying the ocean, the surf,
151
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.519
and the skies. Whatever the nautical version of touching grass is,
152
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.960
I don't need to be connected twenty four seven. And
153
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.799
maybe I'll enjoy myself a little bit more if I
154
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.360
forget there is a world beyond the ocean. Tomorrow will
155
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:49.480
be good. Maybe tomorrow I'll go do some family stuff
156
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:52.440
and try to actually have a good time. I mean,
157
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.600
how often does one get whisked off to a tropical
158
00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:04.240
paradise free of charge? Twenty twenty four I actually had
159
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.960
a pretty great day today. We all went down to
160
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.799
the pool and managed some laughter and it didn't seem
161
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.360
awkward or forced. I haven't seen my dad smile like
162
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.960
that in a long time, probably when Jill surprised him
163
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.759
on his birthday last year. She got him a sweet
164
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.120
new laptop and drawing tablet for him to do his
165
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.200
artwork on. Dad is an artist, or at least he
166
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.799
thinks he is. He loves to draw and doodle, even
167
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:34.919
occasionally manages to sell some art to local companies. Nothing profitable,
168
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.120
but he loves it. Jill is the one who brings
169
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.480
in the real money. She's an electrical engineer at the university.
170
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.279
Roger and I went off and started poking around the ship. Basically,
171
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.720
he wanted to see how big this floating palace actually is.
172
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.759
We discovered all sorts of neat stuff, even found out
173
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.080
they actually have a security force to deal with pirates.
174
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.639
We saw a couple of the guys dealing with a
175
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:04.519
few unruly guests in a corridor. It looked like a
176
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.559
hell of a fight too. We didn't hear any shooting,
177
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:12.039
but Jesus there was blood, gore and discarded drinks everywhere.
178
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.879
Couldn't tell what happened, but it looked like a few
179
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.960
old guys got into it with a bunch of dude bros.
180
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.399
I think one of the old guys bit one of
181
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.799
the dudes and tore a chunk out of them. It's nasty,
182
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.679
but if I'd gotten that on video, I could have
183
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.759
posted it on YouTube or TikTok for Internet cloud. The
184
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.639
Renna cops told us to fuck off, so we did
185
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.120
and headed back above deck and back into the sun again.
186
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.639
We spent the rest of the day at the pool
187
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.759
and in the restaurant. People were talking about the incident
188
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:46.799
at dinner, and everyone was gossiping about it. I suppose
189
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.960
in a weird way, this is like a self contained
190
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.519
high school, and juicy gossip gets dished out along with
191
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.799
the soup of the day. After everyone had dinner and
192
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.600
went their separate ways for the night. I did the same.
193
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.320
Roger found himself an arcade, and I think that's where
194
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.720
he'll spend most of this trip. I don't know where
195
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.120
my parents ended up, but if I had to guess,
196
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.519
they weren't going to waste a good day and a
197
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.919
room with no kids. I'd found a nice place at
198
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.919
the back of the ship where it was kind of quiet,
199
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.000
private and had a good vantage point of the ocean
200
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.480
and the horizon. The sky was that same weird color
201
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.639
again tonight. I also heard a lot of noise coming
202
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.399
from far off too. It sounded like jets or something.
203
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.240
I didn't think we were near any air bases or
204
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.399
anything like that. Probably outspending the hard earned tax dollars
205
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.600
to pad their budgets looking up at the wrong looking colors.
206
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:49.039
I saw a lot of airplanes tonight. I'm even seeing
207
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.320
what I think are lights from other boats nearby. It
208
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.320
seems like the seas are crowded tonight, and privacy is
209
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.879
going to be hard to come by. Of course, the
210
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.799
Internet is complet lely down tonight too. The web page
211
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.320
gives me some sort of an error, and I can't
212
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.960
even get a signal for more than a few seconds.
213
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.200
I thought I saw something on social media about something
214
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.879
happening back on land, but before I could read past
215
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:23.320
the headline, the page crashed. Something about a crisis. When
216
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.759
isn't there one of those? Right Tomorrow, I'll try sun
217
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.679
tanning for the first time in my entire life. No
218
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:40.600
crisis here except maybe sunburn. February fourth, twenty twenty four
219
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.440
this morning, I awoke to Dad shaking me awake and
220
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.480
telling me to get dressed. The crew had asked the
221
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.000
passengers to stand by for an important announcement and that
222
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.519
information would be coming in from the mainland. We were
223
00:14:55.559 --> 00:15:01.000
told to stay calm and reassured that everything was okay. Clearly,
224
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.559
something is fucked up when you hear that. We heard
225
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.120
a knock at the cabin door and a tray of
226
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.799
food was left for us. As we saw the crew
227
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.120
moving from door to door and calmly leaving food and
228
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.080
not saying a word to anyone who wasn't in a uniform,
229
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:22.440
then it hit me the crew weren't just service people.
230
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.240
They were all armed somehow. Some of the crew were
231
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.519
those security guys we saw earlier, and some were others
232
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:36.279
who seemingly conscripted into whatever the fuck this was. The captain,
233
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:41.320
who identified themselves as Captain Paul Kennedy said there was
234
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.200
an emergency situation developing on the mainland and we would
235
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.159
be remaining at sea until ordered otherwise. The military had
236
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.279
become involved and the Navy was ordering all vessels at
237
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:57.240
sea to remain there until the situation had changed. Something
238
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:04.759
was wrong. Then I heard it a gunshot. We all
239
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.919
looked at each other and didn't know what to make
240
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:14.399
of it. It couldn't be gunfire, could it. Then the screams,
241
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:20.720
first one, then many too many. It went on for
242
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:25.320
what seemed like forever. I'll never forget when it stopped either.
243
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.960
Eleven fifty two am. Another voice came over the intercom,
244
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.240
and it wasn't the captains this time. It was an
245
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.279
older lady and she identified herself as the ship's doctor,
246
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:47.120
Doctor Chang. She said there was a sickness on board
247
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.440
and everyone would have to submit to examination by the
248
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:55.559
medical staff and security. Any refusal would mean being locked
249
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:59.919
up in the brig or removal from the ship by
250
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:05.599
any means necessary. Why am I still writing? I guess
251
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.960
it helps me to keep calm. I need to stay
252
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:16.279
calm and clear headed. More scares to come weekly, spooky,
253
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:27.039
We'll be right back. February fifth, twoenty twenty five. It's bad.
254
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:32.440
I don't know what it is, but it's bad. The
255
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:36.240
doctors came in this morning and examined everyone and told
256
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.400
us to move our stuff to a different, more secure
257
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.799
area of the ship. We were told to bring only
258
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.039
the essentials and everything else would be provided for us.
259
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:51.240
I grabbed this book, my pen and the hoodie Dad
260
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.119
had gotten me when we went to Washington in ninth grade.
261
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.640
Everyone else packed what they figured was important, but it
262
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:03.480
all seemed like it was out of panic or by instinct.
263
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.880
They herded us all into one of the big ballrooms
264
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.200
and set it up like a field hospital with cots
265
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:14.160
and blankets. All the amenities and fun stuff was stripped out,
266
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.960
and it was as bare bones and spartan as you
267
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:21.480
could get. I did notice one thing, though, There were
268
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:25.839
remarkably few people over the age of sixty here with us.
269
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:31.079
They're watching anyone who even sneezes like a hawk. Were
270
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:35.319
also surrounded on all sides by people with guns and batons.
271
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:43.000
We're not passengers anymore. We're being held here. We're prisoners.
272
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:47.240
I overheard some people talking, I must be wrong. It
273
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.880
sounded too crazy to be real. They were saying some
274
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.279
kind of an incident had happened on the mainland and
275
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.440
was causing people to go crazy and kill each other
276
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:04.519
and eat each other like fucking zombies. There is no
277
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:09.440
way this is happening. This is not real. This is
278
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:13.640
real life, not Wednesday Night D and D and zombies
279
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:19.359
don't goddamn exist. One person even started screaming about zombies,
280
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.240
and the security guys beat on her with clubs and
281
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.160
batons till she started crying and begged them to stop.
282
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.960
She was dragged out of the room on a stretcher
283
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.720
and I never saw her again. It has to be
284
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.720
a biological weapon attack. Terrorists are like the Russians or
285
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:43.079
the North Koreans, or bad drugs like bath salts or fentanyl.
286
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.359
This isn't fucking happening to me. I'm supposed to be
287
00:19:48.440 --> 00:20:01.519
on vacation February seventh, twenty twenty four. I can't sleep,
288
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:07.519
and I'm not sure anyone else is either. Everybody's on edge.
289
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.319
Jill hasn't slept in days, and frankly, she really looks sick.
290
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.680
I'm scared she'll get taken away by the ship's doctors
291
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.440
or the security goons. No one is taking any chances
292
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.359
at this point. Dad is trying to be a tough
293
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.240
guy to help her, but it's not working. He's not
294
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:31.279
a strong man. He's an artist. Dad cries at Lifetime movies.
295
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:37.119
He just isn't equipped for this. Roger looks nervous and scared,
296
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.079
like he has this panicked look in his eyes. I
297
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.799
think he'll do something stupid for fuck's sake. Sit down
298
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.920
and shut up, and please don't cause trouble. People are
299
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:53.000
still talking and gossip is hot right now. Rumor is
300
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:58.440
that if you die, you don't you come back. It
301
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:02.519
doesn't even matter how you die, just that you come back.
302
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.200
We've heard gunshots coming from below decks at all hours
303
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:12.440
of the day and night since yesterday. One of the
304
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:16.480
security guards left a handheld radio behind and I listened
305
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:20.359
for as long as I could. I think I heard
306
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:24.599
all I needed to hear. Though it's over. We've lost
307
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.799
the engine room. The infection is spreading. We don't know
308
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.079
how to stop it except for a bullet to the head.
309
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:38.079
I don't want to die, not like that. February ninth,
310
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:44.000
twenty twenty four. I finally saw it happen. One of
311
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.279
the people beside me had a heart attack in the
312
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.759
middle of the night. No one noticed until she tore
313
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.519
the throat out of the person sleeping next to her.
314
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.279
It all happened so fast, but it felt like time
315
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.880
slowed down. All I could do was watch in horror.
316
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.519
There was so much blood. The guards started shooting, but
317
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:08.920
the person wouldn't die. It was so loud my ears
318
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.960
were ringing. Everyone else was screaming and yelling, but they
319
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.960
sounded far away. Finally, they shot the woman in the
320
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:22.079
head and she went down, but the body still kept twitching.
321
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.160
One of the guards leveled his weapon at the remaining passengers.
322
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.119
He reeked of booze, and the look on his face
323
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.440
was something I'll never forget. They enjoyed what they did.
324
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:39.240
They enjoyed pulling that trigger. A trio of guards stepped
325
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.279
forward in an aggressive manner towards the lot of us,
326
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.279
and one of them spoke, don't think for a second
327
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.119
that we will hesitate to do it again. You need
328
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.079
us more than we need you. The smallest of the
329
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.640
trio walked over to the person whose throat was ripped out,
330
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.839
pulled out his pistol, and shot them in the head.
331
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:05.160
To punctuate the threat, We're not taking any chances. Now
332
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:10.920
clean this shit up. They threw the bodies overboard burial
333
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:15.720
at sea. Some kid followed them and started wailing as
334
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.039
the bodies hit the water. I think it was their
335
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:31.799
mom and dad. This is hell. I'm in hell. February twelfth,
336
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:36.400
twenty twenty four. Please tell me this is a nightmare,
337
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:42.799
let me wake up. Security staff have started escorting female
338
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:47.880
passengers to alternative accommodations. Last night we woke up to
339
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.720
screaming again, but it wasn't another death. A man was
340
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.920
shouting as his wife and daughter were being forcibly removed.
341
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.680
One of the guards broke his nose with the butt
342
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.880
of a shotgun, and the rest just laughed and shouted
343
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.960
drunkenly for him to stay down if he knew what
344
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.960
was good for him. Someone has to know that I existed.
345
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:11.880
If this keeps going as badly as it has been,
346
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:16.039
I need to leave a record of what happened. Someone
347
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:19.359
has to know that Ronda Canavan existed, that I was
348
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.440
a person, That I had a brother, parents and they
349
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.920
existed too. I had the best dog ever, Bugsy. I existed.
350
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:32.039
I had a life. Please, if you find this diary,
351
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:36.720
know that I tried and I lived. I just want
352
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:43.960
to go home. February fifteenth, twenty twenty four. We've all
353
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:48.119
been moved again. This time we're being isolated to two
354
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.200
decks and they've shut down the elevators. We're locked into
355
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:55.839
cabins and being given the absolute bare minimum for survival
356
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.400
and nothing else. There are a lot you were of
357
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:04.440
us left. Now the doctors in medical staff come by
358
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:09.359
constantly and aren't taking any chances. Now the rent to
359
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.480
cops are also interrogating people about what skills they have
360
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.880
and taking them to the higher decks for necessary work.
361
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:21.720
Dad should be safe. Not much call for graphic design
362
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.720
in the zombie apocalypse. But I'm not so sure about Jill.
363
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:29.759
Jill is an engineer, and she'll want to help. She'll
364
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.839
want to protect us and do the right thing. We
365
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.279
haven't always seen eye to eye, but I know she's
366
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.680
a good person at heart. I keep hearing strange mechanical
367
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.960
noises coming from below decks. It doesn't sound good, and
368
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.359
I can smell something burning, like oil and plastic. Hopefully
369
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.920
they'll put her engineering skills to use. Maybe that means
370
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:57.400
we stay alive or afloat or something. I don't want
371
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.640
to think of the alternative, but I'm glad I'm still
372
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:07.680
in my shapeless hoodie and sweats. February seventeenth, twenty twenty four.
373
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:14.039
They killed Roger. They came to take Jill for engineering
374
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:18.720
work duty. They weren't asking either. It was the middle
375
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.519
of the night when they came. It happened so quickly,
376
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.640
the door was kicked down and flashlights flooded the room.
377
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.079
Dad and I froze, but Roger tried to stop them.
378
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.240
Before he could even take a swing at the three guards,
379
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:36.640
they shot him in the head. Two of the bastards
380
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:40.240
even laughed as he crumpled to the floor. The woman
381
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:44.319
who shot him didn't laugh, though. Jill was hauled away,
382
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:49.440
screaming hysterically, covered in the contents of Roger's skull. That
383
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:53.759
was the last time I saw Jill alive. The thing
384
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:55.680
that will haunt me for the rest of my life
385
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.359
was the terrified look in her eyes as they hauled
386
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:04.119
her off her feet and into the corridor. We need
387
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.839
to get off the boat, or we're gonna die next
388
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.759
or worse. Dad hasn't said a word since they took Jill.
389
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.599
He has a defeated look, like he's a thousand miles
390
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:23.680
away and he's not coming back. February nineteenth, twenty twenty four.
391
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:28.599
I am not going to die here. I am going
392
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:32.920
to escape. I don't know how, but I have an idea.
393
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.440
I've seen plenty of movies and read too many trashy novels.
394
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.519
If they taught me anything, it's that maybe I can
395
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:42.799
make a rope ladder and get on the upper deck
396
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:46.039
of the ship. Maybe I can steal a lifeboat or something.
397
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:48.759
We have tons of bed sheets and stuff that I
398
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:53.839
can use. Somehow, I'll figure something out. I have to try.
399
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:58.559
Dad still hasn't said a word. Jill hasn't come back,
400
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.359
and I don't think she will either. I don't know
401
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.960
what else to do, but I need to try and survive.
402
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:11.759
Looking outside on the veranda and over the ocean, I
403
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.279
can see lights on the horizon. It has to be
404
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:20.440
other boats, right. There has to be other survivors besides us. Right,
405
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.640
could be the navy or someone anyone. Any place is
406
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:35.880
better than here. February twenty fourth, twenty twenty four. I've
407
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:40.240
spent the last few days preparing my escape plan. It's
408
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:43.599
taken a few tries and prototypes, but I think I'll
409
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:47.599
be ready to go tomorrow or the day after. Relatively
410
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.960
sure it'll hold my weight, or at least I hope
411
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.960
it will. I've saved up a few days worth of
412
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:58.319
food and water. I literally don't have a plan beyond
413
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:00.799
getting to the top of the ship and seeing what
414
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:05.519
happens after that. Doctors came in this morning and examined
415
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:09.920
me and Dad. Thankfully, they found nothing except noting that
416
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:13.279
Dad looks malnourished and should eat if he knows what's
417
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:17.000
good for him. Dad hasn't eaten or said a word.
418
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:23.559
He's gone. I'm sorry, Dad, you may have given up,
419
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:34.119
but I can't. February twenty sixth, twenty twenty four, one
420
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.400
of those lights turned out to be a US Coast
421
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:40.880
Guard ship and they boarded us. So maybe this is
422
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.599
my big break, but I have to wait till it's
423
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.319
less busy. You can hear a lot of raised voices
424
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.079
intense conversation coming from the deck, but no one has
425
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.319
started shooting each other. That could change at any moment, though.
426
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.480
Rumor is that the ship's stocks of booze are almost exhausted.
427
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.119
I'm going to try and sneak aboard the Coastguard ship
428
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:05.599
and see if I can get out of here that way.
429
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.160
I slept beside my dad, gave him a big hug
430
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:14.519
this morning, but he wouldn't even look at me. He
431
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.559
did speak, though, and it broke my heart into pieces.
432
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:25.759
I'm sorry, Rohnda, I'm sorry for everything. If your stepmom
433
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:27.839
and I hadn't been fighting, we wouldn't have come out
434
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:33.480
here to fix our marriage. I'm so sorry. He just
435
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.720
looked at his shoes and didn't say anything else to me.
436
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:43.799
I know it's not his fault. Roger knew that. I'll
437
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:48.279
even bet that Jill Mom knew that it would get
438
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:52.640
worked out. I don't blame him for any of this happening.
439
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:57.400
I'm going to wait till dark, and then I'm going
440
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:02.960
to use my rope ladder and try my best. Mom
441
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:10.200
Dead Roger, I love you all. I kissed my dad
442
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.079
on his forehead when he went to sleep, and for
443
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:18.640
a brief second he smiled before a restless sleep took
444
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:23.680
him back. I'm going to live for all of us.
445
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:33.920
I have to at least try. March first, twenty twenty four,
446
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.920
I made it. I successfully used my rope ladder and
447
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:41.200
climbed to the deck and made my way to the
448
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.279
top of the ship. There were dozens of guards and
449
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.559
coastguard people milling about, but no one saw me or
450
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.400
cared enough to stop me, a little, half starved teenage
451
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:57.720
girl from escaping. I hid and waited and watched for
452
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.920
hours until people let their guard down. I did get
453
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:05.119
spotted by one of the crew, though she pointed her
454
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:09.039
rifle at me. I thought I was dead and had
455
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:13.279
failed after everything. She just looked at me with pity
456
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:18.079
and said, kid, get the fuck out of here. I
457
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:22.000
think she was the one who shot Roger. I couldn't
458
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.359
be sure. Maybe this was her way of saying that
459
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:29.240
she was sorry. I slid down a ladder connecting our
460
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.960
two boats, and I hid as quickly as I could
461
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:35.759
anywhere that would fit me. I had started to feel
462
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:38.920
hungry and sick, so I had to make myself known
463
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.480
after a few days. I'm thankful they didn't shoot me
464
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.960
on site. I told them what happened to us on board.
465
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.240
No one was surprised. They said it wasn't the first
466
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.599
cruise ship they'd come across like ours, and some were
467
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.759
even worse. The Navy and Coastguard were trying to help
468
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.400
as many people as they could survive at sea, but
469
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:05.519
it wasn't easy. The Coastguard told me that many cruise
470
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:09.400
ships devolved into chaos within days of the incident occurring.
471
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:13.440
Many were floating cities of the dead. Some were run
472
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:18.519
by wannabee pirates or dictators as floating fortresses. What happened
473
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:22.519
to the vanguard of the seas I asked They told
474
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.559
me that it had been scuttled due to severe engine damage,
475
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:28.839
and that it could have even been direct sabotage. A
476
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.240
woman had sent out a distress call, and fortunately they
477
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:36.160
were in range of the call to answer. Did Mom
478
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:41.119
do that? Did she give us a fighting chance at rescue? Somehow?
479
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:46.119
It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, however, there weren't many
480
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.240
survivors besides what was left of the crew and a
481
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.480
handful of random passengers. Everyone had been transformed to a
482
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:58.640
bigger Navy ship. They never did find my mom or dad.
483
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:03.400
This will be my final entry in this journal. Mom
484
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:05.680
and dad wanted me to remember the best days of
485
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:10.559
my life, but this was far from that. Unfortunately, I'll
486
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.000
always remember these days. At least I can take some
487
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:18.679
comfort remembering that I was with my family when the
488
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:24.400
apocalypse came. My name is Ronda Elizabeth Canavan, and this
489
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:29.239
was my experience when the world ended. I existed. I
490
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.719
had a life before this. I'll do my best to
491
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:40.920
make a life after this. For Roger, for Mom, for Dad.
492
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:46.800
What does my future look like. I don't know, but
493
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:56.280
I tried, and for what it's worth, I'll continue to try. Well.
494
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:59.440
My spookies I think that was a solid way to
495
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:03.039
wrap up the summer scaries, and I hope you enjoyed
496
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:06.679
going on that little cruise with me. I know everybody's
497
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:12.360
been dying to get on the cruise, but seriously, thank
498
