I agree with Jim - the fiction is #2. But I have a different reason - I know where you got your traumatic brain injury & for you to have suffered 2 of them under different circumstances seems a stretch to me. But - you know? Stranger things have happened!
PS - I can't believe you wrote a story with the word "boat" in it - instead of ship or water-going-vessel or whatever is Navy-speak for small wooded craft. ;)
