I need to get away. The relief from stress and boredom. Just to relax and experience something new. To leave behind this monotonous situation. The desire for an adventure, a change of scenery. I NEED A VACATION! Lara worked a 9 to 5 job everyday even on weekends. It was time for a long overdue vacation. She browsed through brochures and came upon Belize. A beautiful place in the Caribbean. You could visit the Mayan ruins take a walk through the rain forest. Hike through nature, taking in the waterfall and just admiring the views. The Great Blue Hole is a diving spot. It was formed as a limestone cave system that collapsed and is now submerged. Giant stalactites and columns can be found inside the blue hole. It is most beautiful and amazing. Lara found her vacation spot for 2 weeks. The flight from Montana to Belize would be approximately 5 hrs. Leaving in 3 days accommodations included, yahoo!! Dancing around her room. I'm so excited, she sang. I need to pack for a tropical climate, I need comfortable shoes and my passport. 3 days seemed like a month. Finally, the day came to board the plane for Belize. So far, the flight has been perfect a little turbulence every now and then but not too bad. Flying for 4 1/2 hours so far. A thunderstorm is off in the horizon rumbling louder and louder lightning strikes as I look out the window. Rain starts to pour down. Turbulence is making this flight very bumpy and with violent jolts, I hear over the loudspeaker to put on our seat belts this is going to be a rough ride. It is so unsettling. The pilot and his crew try to find smoother air by changing altitude, but to no avail. The pilots is losing control of the airplane. Severe structural damage has occurred on the aircrafts wing and one of the engines. The pilot prioritizes, communicating with air traffic control declaring an emergency may day, may day he sends over the radio. Then instructing the passengers on emergency procedures and to brace for impact. The plane suddenly nose dives through the air. Passenger's screaming and crying experiencing head impacts whip lash and other injuries. The plane crashes into the rain forest. It does not go up in flames and didn't blow up, luckily, they can salvage any food, drinks and emergency supplies The wreckage is swallowed by the vegetation all around. Survivors are stranded and face a dangerous and challenging environment. Many passengers did not make it. Only 75 passengers survived including Lara. The survivors had broken bones and gashes on their bodies. The plane and bodies were scattered throughout the rain forest. The crash caused the trees in the area to be crushed and uprooted huge areas in the rainforest were damaged.

It will be very difficult making a rescue. Some of the survivors took care of the injured passengers as well as they could. The rain forest can be very hot and humid, dehydration hypothermia or heatstroke can occur. They need to make shelter close to the plane. They begin to clear brush farther from the plane.

I have a horse her name is Winnie. My name is Jay and I'm 11 yrs. old. Winnie was given to me by a very old man who could not care for her anymore. I took her in and have been caring for her ever since that wonderful day she came into my life. Her coat was chestnut brown with her long blonde mane flowing in her eyes as she ran in the meadow. Winnie, I would call to her. She came running towards me coming to a stop before the fence. Letting me rub her head I give her a carrot, her favorite treat. I climb over the fence and walk her to the barn. She needs to be brushed her bedding needs to be cleaned and re done. She beds down for the night. When morning comes, I saddle her up and we ride through the meadow without a care in the world. Through the fields of wildflowers and rolling hills. Giddy up, giddy up Winnie. Over the hills so swift, she slows to a trot downhill being ever so careful. We come to a river. She eats the sweet grass and drinks. Suddenly Winnie lifts her upper lip to reveal her teeth, thats what horses do when the smell something new to them. Low and behold she did smell something new. A kitten laying by a rock shivering I dismount Winnie and walk towards the kitten. It lets me pick it up. I put it in my jacket to keep it warm. I get back on Winnie and head for home. We go into the barn Whinnie's stall is quite warm. I make a bed out of hay for the kitten. Winnie lays down by her newfound friend and starts cleaning the kitten. I fill up Winnies' feed bag with oats and hay and finish up my chores. As nighttime approached, I filled a bowl with warm milk for the kitten. I went to the barn to check up on Winnie and the kitten. I saw the kitten all curled up next to Winnie. I placed the bowl of milk down and the kitten lapped it all up. I guess the kitten found a new mama. They were inseparable at that point. Wherever Winnie went the kitten would follow. Wherever the kitten went Winnie would follow. I named the kitten Shadow, because he was Winnies little shadow. Shadow would be sitting on the fence and jump on Winnie's back to snuggle up and go for a ride. They were comical. When I would ride Winnie, Shadow would tag along right next to us. They had a bond like no other. They became loyal companions. Theirs was a magical friendship. The moral of this story is friendships can be found in unusual and surprising places. With unique individuals. Friendships can develop and create bonds between individuals of different sizes and species. So, we need to wake up and learn from our four-legged friends to love and respect each other. End of story!
