I left my home to backpack from the midwest to the west. I had nowhere to stay and no idea how I was going to get there other than walking and sleeping out in the open. Upon leaving my hometown, I ran I to an old high-school friend at my high-schools football field. She invited me to stay with her at her family's home until we could fly on a plane out of iowa. I stayed at her family's house and the next evening we got on a private flight and headed west. During flight, the engine failed and we started to fall from the sky and landed in a river. The pilot yelled at us to open the door so we could escape the plane before we sank and drowned. The plane landed fairly slow into the water, near a bridge, and one of the passengers was able to open the door. Water started to slowly fill the pane but we were all able to calmly escape before it sank. We swam toward the side of the river and were all able to pull ourselves out of the water safely. The pilot, who was the last to escape the sinking plane was right behind me but was snatched up my a very large shark and dragged under water and disappeared. The water was clear. I separated from the group and found a house in California to buy. I lived a couple houses down from a well known female celebrity and our kids played together in her front yard. She was friendly towards me and was impressed with my parental advice I gave to her.
