History's Most Unbelievable Survival Story Is Actually True
Growing up in England, I was immersed in the rich tapestry of the English language, which has woven its way into the very fabric of my being. From the peculiar idioms that pepper our speech, such as "all mouth and no trousers," "a different kettle of fish," and "Bob’s your uncle" (even though my uncle’s name happens to be Derek), to the obscure words nestled within the depths of the English lexicon, like defenestrate – a word seemingly reserved for the rare occasion of tossing someone out of a window – and bumfiddle, which, contrary to its suggestive sound, refers to a musical instrument rather than nocturnal activities.

Nobody Should Of Survived This, But This Man Did
It was a serene morning on the picturesque Ebon Atoll, where husband and wife Russel and Emi were engrossed in the laborious task of processing the coconuts they had meticulously dried for their livelihood. Their tranquil routine was abruptly interrupted by frantic shouts echoing along the shoreline. Rushing to investigate, they encountered a startling sight: a disheveled man with a thick beard and weather-beaten appearance, dragging himself through the foamy surf. The discovery was nothing short of astonishing against the backdrop of the remote Ebon Atoll, nestled within the Marshall Islands—a name not unfamiliar to those who follow historical accounts, particularly in relation to Amelia Earhart's disappearance, which intersected with this archipelago. The Marshalls, with their tumultuous history including being a site for numerous post-World War II nuclear tests, are among the most secluded places on Earth. Consequently, unexpected visitors are a rarity in such isolated realms.

Prologue
Running, Running with no end in sight. The hallway is dark, the ground hard and rough. Pain shooting up my legs radiating through my joints with every step. My lungs are growing weaker and weaker. Every breath more laborious than the last. It's like I'm suffocating, but I can't stop. If I stop, for even a second. It's going to catch me. I don't know what it is, but I know what it smells like.

W I T C H: Chapter 3
The Ironwood Art and History Museum wasn’t terribly impressive (not that she thought it would be). It certainly didn’t look like the place one would find a long-lost amulet. But then again, since when did anyone know they were in possession of a long-lost amulet? Typical for a bunch of ‘Normies’ - they never knew what they had until it was gone. It took everything she had to hide her growing impatience as Nora’s tour group suddenly stopped at another display case, lined with carved arrowheads and beaded artwork.
