The boat fell silent and I knew that this was it. My eyes scanned the small window that I could see through for signs of any movement or approach to where I was, nothing came. I didn't know whether I should've been relieved, but I wasn't. My concern grew there was something bound to happen, there just had to be, given how much effort they had put into getting me here.
