Dear Diary,

December 24, 2004

Today was another unsuccessful day for fisherman everywhere…we were not able to catch anything. The only thing keeping me here is the love for this boat, looks like I finally found a name for it, S.S. K.P.P., my initials, I need to come up with another name, one of my crew says we should go southeast to the Indian Ocean, he says the fishing there is great this time of year.

I’m starting to think we should, we need to get food on our family’s table. I just wish I could spend some time with my family this time of year, it brings me to tears knowing that I can’t spend Christmas with our newborn. Well I decided to go to the Indian Ocean, this way we have a better chance of getting fish, and a better chance of making my absence up to my family.

Fish…

Swimming along the ocean

Not a care in the world anymore

But something about the ocean is different

Its not moving the way it did before

I swim to the surface curious

Higher and higher I swim

I get to the surface to look
what I see is shocking

The ocean, what is does

It goes back and forth, back and forth

But this was something different

The ocean was pulling more

This time is went back, and back, and back…

It was coming closer to me

I tried to swim away,

But it was just too fast

To water goes right on past me

I tried to gasp my last water breath
but all I get is air,

And slow, slow, death

Adrie

Playing on the ocean

Letting the water splash me

I can’t believe my father did this

This is the best present ever

I am playing by myself

Mom’s back at the hotel

She said I’m old enough to go alone

I can’t believe I got that freedom

Sitting here playing with the starfish

But I am getting pretty bored

I wish my friends were here

My 8^th birthday would be better

But then something interests me

The water goes farther back

I laugh and get up to chase it

I am bored no more

As it goes back and back, so do I

Not noticing the fish that are left out the water

I cant believe this is happening

This is going to be so much fun

But this I hear people calling out to me,

They want me to come back

I ignore them, and keep going

One person comes out to me

I try to run away from him

But then I look forward

I notice the water had stopped moving back

And now it’s moving forward

The man chasing me picks me up

And tries to wrong back

But notices it is going to be too late

The long blonde haired man looks down at be

I look into his baby blue eyes

I look over his shoulder, and see the water wall

It is moving toward us fast

Then he holds me tight, I grasp to his shirt

I start to cry and realize, I and not old enough

To make decisions, that are good

The water is coming, coming, coming

After Report

This report is from MSgt Blose from the National Guard,

I arrived by helicopter and couple days after the tsunami, I have never seen nothing like this, I did my best to try to keep strong and not cry. The first thing I see is a boat in the middle of the beach, it must have been in the ocean when the wave hit. It was a fishing boat, the name was the S.S. KKP. Poor sailors probably never saw this coming. I can’t believe no one heard this was going to happen, we have people all over the world monitoring the oceans. It’s unbelievable. We can see all the fish that was carried out of the water, so shocking to see how many there are. The fish are surrounding the boat. We get on the ground now to look for the survivor and collect and identify the dead.

We’ve been looking for about 3 hours, and all we see is the dead, I get called over the see something. What I saw brought me to tears, two people, a man and a girl were on the ground, by the way they look, they must have gotten the worst of the wave. The thing that brought me to tears is, even though they got hit the hardest, they were still holding on the each other.
