I was on my last day of vacation somewhere near the island of Borneo. I was swimming along the beach, collecting “speed buffs” which allowed me to swim faster and faster. My phone was sealed inside of a ziploc bag so I could keep it in my pocket as I swam. I took a waypoint to the far side of the island.

I was now wading though a flooded cave system in search of the exit. My surroundings would have been pitch black if it were not for the little bit of light from the bioluminescent corals along the walls. I decided against taking my phone out for extra light as to not disturb the local ecosystem. I eventually found an opening except I landed into the backseat of a large white truck. People in police uniforms asked what I was doing here. I told them that I assumed it was fine for me to be here since I’d taken the same route but in the opposite direction before.

I walked along the docks and saw two massive seals playing in the water. The sun was setting as we got back to the beach and my new friends offered me some of their fried chicken.
