Chapter 1: The Second Act

1 The Second Act
My life is snoring.

Everything’s boring.

Tuesday, April 16 (My Birthday)

My name is Michael Vey. It’s been a few years since I’ve written anything about my life. Really, there hasn’t been a whole lot to write about. At least not anything you’d want to read. That’s because the last three years have been what most people consider normal—and by “normal,” I mean not being tied up and fed to rats or being hunted by a homicidal maniac who bought a cannibal fork so he could celebrate his victory over us by eating me.

I’m in my second semester of my junior year of college, working toward a business management degree. Even that sounds boring.

My dad and I were fishing for salmon at Mendenhall Lake in Juneau. After an hour we still hadn’t caught anything when I had an idea. I put my hand into the wate
