Dear Journal,

The wind is turning violent again, but it is not yet season. I am worried about this, for it means that a storm is coming too early in the season. When that happens, it means trouble for me and my friends.

I must go and prepare medicines and such in case that there is a shipwreck.

Dear Journal,

The sky darkens quickly, and the air begins to thicken. I can smell the disturbance in the water, and hear the storm so far from shore. My friends have left for safety and shelter, as have I. I have all I need with me.

Fair well for now.

Signed,

Dear Journal,

The waves smack the shore; the wind howls in rage; the rains are heavy and mean.

To think, this is only the start.

Dear Journal,

There is yet more rain to come, I can smell, feel, and hear it.

Dear Journal,

Dear Father,

To you I send a word of thanks.

Were it not for,

your loving heart,

I would have died tonight

out

among

our humble shore,

between the rocks

or in the sea,

I know

not

which,

you see.

Dear Father,

From beyond the Gates,

I send to

thee

a

word

of

thanks.

Signed,

KAIMANA,

Dear Journal,

The storm is gone, but I must go search my beach for survivors.

Signed,

KAIMANA,
