The Story

The boy couldn't tell if it was dark or not. Waking up from his slumber, he peered through the window next to him. He wasn't ready for what was going to happen.

The boy Sujaay overheard

the workers shouting at each other.

'We're out of fuel!' A worker shouted,

'I don't know how it ran out.'

Hearing this, Sujaay was alarmed.

The worst thing that Sujayy could possibly imagine. It was really happening.

Slapping himself to be sure that he wasn't dreaming, Sujaay climbed out of bed, unaware of the things happening around him. Backpack bouncing, he gathered his courage up and ran out the door, still wearing pajamas. His grandfather had once told him that if you are in a ship or plane crash, you don't have time to get your clothes on and stuff like that.

Sujaay was heading to his own personal emergency room,

which was a waterproof giant balloon with food, water, and

air inside it. Sujaay had been eyeing that product from the market square days ago. It had cost him a lot of money, it costed so much money that he had to take more money out of his savings account. Now, thank goodness, it was coming handy.

But Sujaay was not sharing his things to the others on the ship because he thought that they wasn't prepared.

'Now that's a good punishment' he thought as he sped away at full speed to his emergent room. But as he was galloping towards his safe, he was stopped by a worker.

'What are you doing here?' Bellowed the worker, staring deeply at Sujaay.

Sujaay tried to think of a lie, but nothing came to his mind,

'Oh - uh, I was - umm - going to the batheroom -' He was interrupted

before he could get any further.

'Nonsense! You must go back to your room, boy.'

'Yes, sir.'

He headed back to his room with the backpack. Locking the door, he threw himself on the bed, hopeless that he would not go to his emergency room. He needed to calm down, so he opened his backpack and found a packet of Woofless, and gobbled it up. It helped a little. Nothing could help much if you know that the ship you're riding on ran out of fuel. He decided that he would find out how the fuel on the ship was gone - alone.

Unlocking the door, he checked if the hallway had any workers walking across it. Finally, with noone in sight, he stepped into the hallway and soon found himself hiding

around sneakily

like a ninja.

Sujaay soon got to the fuel tank without anyone finding him. He climbed down the ladder cautiously, one step at a time. Then he reached the floor and was soon covered in oil that was up to his legs. He stood still for a moment, scanning around the giant tank. But soon the 'moment' passed.

He suddenly a underwater volex saw a live fish-like creature. It was sucking the oil from the tank. Sujaay gasped in amazement. That creature had been slurping up the oil the

entire time onboard the ship! The creature,

too, saw the boy spying on him. He plumed down into the oil. The creature was nowhere to be seen. Sujaay spotted a tiny wave of coming directly towards him. The 'thing' was slithering towards him underwater.

Climbing to the top of the ladder, he spluttered to get rid of the oil in his mouth. When he reached the top of the ladder, he saw the worker he had seen earlier on the hallway. The worker was staring directly to the ladder, but didn't seemed to saw the boy. Sujaay retreated down the ladder, but didn't want to go down far, otherwise he'd be dead meat, so he was trapped.

He had quickly grabbed a packet of pretzels, thinking to have

a snack later on. Sujaay felt the pockets of his jacket.

He opened his pocket and found it. He opened the packet and grabbed some pretzels. The pretzels were covered in oil, but Sujaay didn't mind, mostly because he was spectacularly hungry.

He had finished his packet of pretzels when he heard noises coming towards him. He peeked up and saw the most terrifying thing. The worker was coming towards him. He had no choice. He was caught.

'What are you doing here, boy?' Bellowed the worker once he'd seen Sujaay.

Sujaay was busted!

'Um - I - uh - I'm - ' The boy tried to think of a lie, but the worker wasn't fooled easily. The worker took the boy straight to the office and locked the door. Now all Sujaay could do was to wait in silent. It was hours and hours that Sujaay had to wait.

Finally, the door flew open and there stands the worker, looking seriously at Sujaay.

'Young man, this is the punishment. Don't ever do bad things, understand?' The worker asked.

The boy nodded.

'Now I need you to be a good boy

and go right to sleep.' The worker added.

He left the boy and went to work. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard and to very much to Sujaay's horror, the ship began to sink. In seconds, he was underwater, and water came flooding into the room. Sujaay used a hammer to smash a window to escape. He slowly made his way to the top. His lungs gasped. And then, the boy fainted and found himself in a black volex.
