by sea
Chuks rose with many other young men at night in the boat. Somewhere on the coast of Africa. His parents had sold a lot of belongings for the trip. The flight from Cameroon. For the smugglers. Chuks could take only a bundle of belongings. He only knew that they wanted to go to Europe. He and the parents had reluctantly decided on the run, because it gave him no future in Cameroon. No work, no livelihood. He was now twenty years old. What should he do if the parents died. The two smaller siblings also were still there. As far as the parents do not deserve to feed everyone.
The boat was filled densely. The engine started. Soon they saw the coast behind. Chuks was full of fear and curiosity at the same time. He wanted to find work in Europe and then send money home. It was quiet on the boat. All were full of Thoughts. It was distributed water. Chuks drank a cup. He asked his neighbor how long the trip probably would. It did not. Equally, the motor chugged. Chuks asleep. So passed the night and the next day. From time to Chuks changed a few words with the others. A scanty meal was spread. They knew nothing of the luxury liners, which turned the tables on the hot and cold buffet.
came the next evening. Chuks fell asleep again. He was awakened by violent shocks. It was dark. The boat swayed heavily from side to side. The two boatmen spoke loud and excited. It was brought up a heavy storm. A storm. Chuks clung anxiously. All brackets to each other or to the edge of the boat. One boatman jumped up. The boat bowed, struck out.
The Italian patrol boat ship in the morning along the route traveled, found only a capsized boat in the sea floating corpses before.
