A school music teacher who decided to cross the Pacific Ocean on a small boat - by himself - has left people utterly terrified.
Seattle man Luke shared his month-long journey over on his TikTok page (@sailingsongbird) last year.
Unlocking our biggest fear, he sailed a staggering 3,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean on a small 27ft sailboat, with his videos going viral.

In one clip, viewers witnessed him screaming into the 'one place on earth no one will hear' and it's truly mind-blowing.
"It's day 10 sailing from Tonga to New Zealand, and it's one of the first days where I really lost wind," Luke said in the footage.
"It's super super flat, super super calm, and I am about 180 miles north of New Zealand right now, and there's just nobody anywhere. I'm likely a couple, yeah, 100 miles from the closest person.

"And when it's super, super flat and calm out like this, I like to go out onto the bow where I am now and just go, 'Help! Help!' Nobody.
"Very few places on the planet where, if you screamed help at the top of your lungs, there is 100 percent certainty that nobody will hear you, except a couple of the fish below me.
"They might be confused, but, oh, I love flat days of sailing like this.
"I mean, it's not really sailing, it's mainly just floating along off course, but it's the way it goes."
He again shouted: "Hello. Help anybody! nobody. Anytime, it's super calm like this, I look at my paddle board and I'm like, 'Should I go paddle boarding? Should I go? Should I do it?'

"What would you do? Or what would you scream at the top of your lungs if you were in the middle of the ocean and you knew that you were alone, no one, no one could hear you, what would you do?"
In the comments, one fan responded: "I would scream all of my secrets and curse those that have done me wrong."
As a second added: "I would turn my music up really loud and sing at the top of my lungs and dance around the boat."

Others, however, appeared to have more questions than answers.
"I feel like this would be very healing but also terrifying. do you ever get freaked out by the vastness and depth of the sea or are you used to it by now?" a third penned.
"What if you lose your mermaid emergency services because they label you as the boy who cried wolf?" wrote a fourth.
