dps....stuck on an island
stranded! once again i have crashed upon someone else shore,yet there is no one here and i am alone once again.No food and no water i make my way across this island in hope to find salvation, in hope to find a familiar face but my cries have gone unheard and the sea that sorrounds holds a depth i can not swim nor see past the vast horizon......being saved seems hopeless. I gathered some small trees that i found easy to brake so that i may make shelter and wait as the tides only bring an emptiness that haunts and taunts me for i miss home and the smell of her.I built a site suitable for these drastic measures and gathered my sanity for it will soon be against me.To my surprise my boyscout skills were still remembered and made useful as i started a fire using only a stick,some dry leaves and a half cut out piece of dried drift would i found and made heat to light and keep me warm through the night that approached.Having a lot of time to think i recall all the loved ones at home wondering if i will ever see them again and as the tears fell from my lonely existance i saw a ship in the distance,festive with lights shimmering off of the night sea.I hurried to grabbed a burning piece of wood and waved it around relentlessly like a child waving goodbye......but no one saw and no one came.I stayed on that island for months feeding off of the ocean and living off of the land till that day, the day i gave up waiting and swam out to sea and never to return. but if i never make it home i will visit them in their dreams to let them know that i never stopped trying and that i love them all,and into the depths i sank......never to return.
