the morning of 26th desember was warm and sunny on phi phi don island in thailand. the sunshine was a welcome change from the wet rainy weather in london. after breakfast we went to the beach. my parents decided to sunbathe ant i ran straight into the crystal clear water. nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen. suddenly i heard a loud roar. the water under my feet disappeared. i heard people screaming and pointing at the sea. "what's going on?" i wondered as i turned to see a massive wave coming towards me. "mark,run!" i heard my mum shout before the huge wave swallowed me.
