Annalyse stripped herself down to her bare skin, preparing to get in the water. She hoped the clothes they had found at sea had dried over night. She slid into the water, the lack of heat chilling her skin. It was not the most luxury shower, but it was what Annalyse expected from being on a...
The blinding light from the sun that leaked through the leaves on the trees took Annalyse from her deep sleep. Annalyse's vision was still foggy from her slumber, but it quickly returned to normal after a short period of time. "Good morning, Joe" she said in a lazy tone. Annalyse slowly stood...
Annalyse didn't stay by the fire for much longer. Soon after gaining warmth from the open flame, Annalyse walked into the shelter. As Joe had offered, she joined him. She covered herself with half of the blanket, leaving the other half for him to use. It was a little damp, but it would do for...
The sun was setting, creating an artwork of colors in the sky. It was beginning to get my cooler, and she was no longer sweating from the beaming sun. She could see the mosquitoes begin to become active around her. Soon, fire flies would light up the open air. Her stomach growled a bit, and the...
Annalyse made sure to keep the fire burning by covering it gently with her small hands. She looked up at the shelter he was building. "The shelter looks great so far, Joe," she complimented. Annalyse hoped this fire would last through the night, as it would probably get quite cold tonight. Plus...
"Don't worry, you're not bossy," Annalyse assured him. "I think it's best to go back anyways," she began. "We should try to go to bed as soon as we get everything done. The more daylight, the better. We should go back." Annalyse guided him back to the water source, where they had set up their...
"Sure, we can split up," Annalyse said, beginning the opposite direction. She ran back quickly when she heard Joe say that he had seen something. "Really? Where?" she said, her eyes scattering the island before seeing a small, red suitcase at sea. She watched Joe eagerly swim out to the...
"Sounds like a plan. Something, anything, has to have washed up. I don't think the plane crashed far from the island, so I'm sure belongings got scattered at sea," Annalyse agreed. "We should finish the shelter by sundown; we need somewhere to sleep. Hopefully we can start up a fire by tonight,"...
"Sure," Annalyse said, accepting the help. "How about I try to start the fire, and you can lift the branches?" Annalyse suggested. "You look strong enough to do it, stronger than me," she said with a playful smirk. Annalyse made her way over to the area where Joe was making his failed attempts...
"One problem," Annalyse said, "I heard that extremely hard to do. But, hey, it's worth a try. You work on that, I'll start working on a shelter." Annalyse looked at her surroundings, taking in all of the resources she could use for the shelter. "It's pretty humid out here," Annalyse said, beads...
Annalyse hopped over a couple of logs before catching up to Joe. When the trees began to thin out, she took in the full view of the water. The view was quite beautiful, but maybe it was just because she was thirsty. Water crashed against the rocks, making the rocks glisten. "Joe, I wouldn't...
"No, just me. I was on my way to visit my parents," Annalyse explained. She rain a hand through her drenched brunette hair. Annalyse noticed a saddened look in his eyes after asking the question. "Are you alright?" she asked, looking concerned. The two of them made their way away from shore...
Annalyse stood up, looking around the island for someone, anyone. Finally, she caught a glimpse of a figure running towards her. She squinted to make sure she was really seeing it. A wave a relief swept over Annalyse. When the figure got close enough, she saw that he was a young man, probably...
Annalyse resurfaced from under the water, taking a huge gasp of cool air. The salt filled her mouth with a repulsive taste. Her memory was blurry at first, but then it came to her.
She was on her way to visit her parents. Chaos. A thick smell coming from the plane overwhelmed Annalyse's...
