On a quiet day, Tom and Akram, both 20 years old, went on vacation off the coast of Australia, their goal was to go on vacation after spending a year in school. Both of them were eager for adventure and left for Australia. On their way back, they both decided this time to go back by boat. But not just any kind of boat. One of them, Akram, newly graduated from his boat driving license wanted to show his mastery and so they rented a boat with motor and sail of about ten meters to cross the ocean.
It must have been the end of the day around 4 pm when, at the edge of the coast, about 1 kilometer from the mainland, the two friends felt some shocks. At the beginning quite light, apart from the objects which do not tremble nothing worrying. Tom looks around but nothing abnormal. Akram, fully confident, tells him: "Stop being afraid, it's normal to have tremors in the sea, especially at the end of the day.
A few minutes later...
The tremors continue this time more strongly, Tom has difficulty in remaining motionless, outside still nothing, no clouds on the horizon and apart from some waves, nothing impressive. Akram this time outside begins to be wary and starts to look more and more seriously. The minutes pass but RAS. the two friends return and go to their occupations. Tom faithful to him is in the kitchen and prepares the dish for this evening, Akram as for him it prepares and supervises the deals and route which they will borrow.
It will soon be two hours that they are on the boat at 2 kilometers from the boat and the situation is calm. Akram sometimes looks outside and apart from the slightly higher waves, he finds nothing abnormal. However the situation is quite different on the other side, it has already started. The city, although usually calm, is turning into a ruin, the slight tremor that the group feels is much stronger on the ground, buildings fall on themselves, roads fracture and the traffic becomes chaotic.
5 hours later...
Both of them are in the only available room of the boat. The boat is equipped with a control room in the center of the boat, at the bottom of it is the only room. On the decks the sails, the engines and the place to move. The kitchen is downstairs, next to the bedroom. Both sitting in the room, they eat their meals while telling jokes.
Tom: "Dude are you sure about the direction man? It's not that I don't trust you but... If I don't trust you. This time it's not like before, if we get lost at sea I assure you I'm going to throw you out into the open sea while you sleep."
Akram: "More threats... frankly, aren't you tired of repeating the same thing all the time, and don't worry, this time I have calculated my move, I have entered all the information for our destination. In two weeks at the most we'll be there and you'll be able to praise my navigation skills like Nami in ONE PIECE!!! ."
Tom: "You know that Nami is praised more because she is good not for navigation but for something else if you know what I mean..."
Akram: "Instead of taking the piss out of me, go eat and leave well enough alone. Speaking of Nami, it's Thursday there's a new chapter coming out today so shut up and let me read."
Tom: "Yeah right eat and eat my divine cooking."
While the two ate and occupied themselves on their phones, outside in the middle of the night we could see smoke billowing out of the city in the distance.
In the city
It will soon be 6 hours that the tremors repeat and gain in power, the situation becomes critical as it goes along. Although they tried to do everything they could, the rescuers could not do anything. Cars on fire, roads completely destroyed and obstacles everywhere. Whether it was buildings, cars or even dead bodies, everything was burning and chaos started to take place everywhere in the big cities.
On the boat
Tom and Akram, both in the boat, had trouble falling asleep, the boat kept rocking back and forth without stopping. Both of them were beginning to wonder whose idea it was to leave on a boat for a 2 week trip.
Tom: "Damn, if every night is the same I'll soon choose the second option!
Akram : "Oh well! Because what the gentleman with a second option proposed? And why don't you tell me and see?
Tom: "It's simple, my second fucking option is to throw you in the sea and to finish the journey by swimming, it will be easier than travelling in a fucking boat!
Akram: "Not bad, I liked it but you should know that we are crossing an ocean, there are sharks waiting for you".
Tom: " Come on, stop bothering me or I'll really commit a murder tonight, go check upstairs and see if everything is going well".
Akram: "Oh, because it's my turn to check now?
Tom: "You pretend to be the best navigator so take care of the boat and stop annoying me for nothing."
The silence falls in the room again and while he was reading his chapter he sees his Wi-Fi connection go down.
Akram: "Oh come on load at least the last page, I want to know the bounty of luffy! Come on!!!" .
Tom: "It's no use, even I don't have any more connections, we're too far away now to have Wi-Fi. At least it gives you a reason to see outside".
Akram: "It's ok, I understand, you are too afraid of the night and you need your valiant knight to protect you".
Tom: "LOL! Protect yourself already, then see if you can protect me XD.
Akram goes quietly to open the door of the room which gives on a staircase with some steps. When he opens the door he notices that it's raining outside...
Akram: "Great, it's night and it's raining".
He enters the control cabin and looks at the dashboard, nothing abnormal on the radar, no leak and the direction is good. Who says you have to be a good sailor when technology does everything for you?
He looks out this time and everywhere he looks, he sees waves crashing against the boat. With the cabin door closed he could not hear anything but outside the sound of the waves and the whistling of the wind was raging. They had been at sea for several hours now, they couldn't see her from here and this storm wasn't helping their situation.
Outside, at the bottom of the ocean, several crevasses started to be created, the more time passed and the more the crevasses multiplied. The tremors are creating tremors on the ground and bigger and bigger waves at sea...
Situation in the cities
During the last hours, the agitation is at the top, the governments submerged.
The rescue services are not able to do their work properly. The roads are completely blocked, people are moving in all directions. Almost ten hours since the beginning and still no sign of improvement. Every minute that passes, hundreds of people die crushed by buildings or trampled by other people.
