The Mysterious Island

He tied his boat off and started to climb the cliffs. He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but still he climbed. The man who is climbing this cliff is a thirty five year old mountain climber named Manny Rivera. He is from Puerto Rico and was raised in the U.S. Ever since Manny was a teenager, he enjoyed climbing anything. Soon he found himself climbing mountains and he enjoyed it a lot. He enjoyed it so much that he decided to climb the biggest mountains around here."I've always enjoyed climbing, when I climb a mountain and reach the peak of it, I feel like a accomplished something, it is such a nice refreshing feeling once I'm at the top of any mountain."Manny said once in an interview with ESPN. One day, Manny has heard of a mysterious island that has a cloud on it and is the shape of a cliff.It is said that no one has ever attempted to climb this mountain/cliff type of island due to the fact that it seems too dangerous to climb. If anyone has tries to climb this mountain/cliff type of island and they fall, it's almost certain death because the waves near the island are very strong and they will immediately throw you around as if you were literally a toy. Another reason why no has ever climbed this island is because the island is in the Bermuda Triangle also known as the Devil's Triangle. No one has ever attempted to climb this mountain, until now.

When Manny first heard of this island, he rushed out there as quickly as possible. The mysterious island wasn't too far, it was in the Bermuda Triangle just northeast of Cuba. When Manny first go there, he was excited. Though it was said that the waves were dangerous, it seems that at times the waves settles down. Manny was lucky that the waves were calm at the moment, but there's no telling what can happen next since the Bermuda Triangle is unpredictable. Manny tied his boat off and he started to climb the cliffs, he knew that he was going to be the first to ever climb this mountain to the very top. Climbing this mountain wasn't too hard for Manny at first, but when he started entering the cloud, things became a little difficult for brave old Manny. With the dense cloud, Manny couldn't see a thing, he had to rely simply on the ability to feel on things to be able to continue climbing. Also, the rocks were wet and slippery and Manny keeps on slipping every once in a while. Things were getting difficult for brave old Manny indeed but, he managed to pull through and reach the top. Manny brought a journal and video camera with him at the top of the mountain and in his journal it says,

"FINALLY REACHED THE PEAK! It took quite some time,strength, confidence, and determination but I finally did it! The peek of this mountain is so gorgeous, it is as if I'm standing on the eye of a hurricane literally! However, since I've reached the top, the weather here has becoming rather dangerously crazy I suppose. The winds started picking up even more and I'm starting to hear what is seems to be thunder and heavy rain, but I don't see this actually happening, I'm just hearing this. What could it possibly be?"

Manny never returned from his little adventure to the mysterious island. To Manny, mountain climbing was everything, he described it as "the ability to show strength, persistence, and determination all in one shot, all in one passage." When rescuers were sent to look for him after a month of his absence, all they found was his journal pages scattered across the island. Also, the boat in which Manny came in was destroyed, most likely by the strong waves that occurs at times. His body was never found nor was anything else, which leads to the question. What Happened?!
