Dying to Live

An Exhilarating Story of Survival, Soul-Searching, and Inspiration.

Who would have thought that a school trip would end up like this?

Adrian, a young Puerto Rican teenager, is depressed and thinking about dying and killing himself, and while going on a field trip to an island called Vieques, the ferry starts to sink. Now his life is at risk, as well as all of the suicidal thoughts he has.

"I thought I'd die from jumping off a building, like I tried last summer. Clearly, that didn't work. If I didn't die because of him, I thought swallowing my mother's sleeping pills would surely do the trick. However, unlike in the movies, I woke up. I tried everything under the sun after that, and now, I'm facing death in this sinking ferry…"

And with things spiraling out of control, he must decide.

Will he fight for his life or die?

Will he find his fighting spirit when life gets tough?

With a combination of addictive storytelling and engaging writing style, author Deliana Santana Díaz delivers an intense and uplifting short story.
