The first thing I saw was a Buoy. It was stuck in a tree. Right above me. Apparently I was flat on my back. Looking up. Now I wouldn't consider myself a buoy expert. But I recognized the buoy as one they used at Guilford Lake. A spot I used to frequent before the world ended.

"Bababooey" I said in response to the thought.

To which a short chuckle came in response. I sat up, looking around to see a vaguely familiar sight. A small campsite. Surrounded by trees, on a hill, with water lapping gently around it.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! It's an island, dumbass!" I thought out loud.

To any bystander, I was a strange boy, waking up from a coma and immediately degrading himself, as was my character by now. On the second scan of this island I saw another, a slimmer figure. Short hair, unseasonal choice of attire, a hoodie, shorts and a wreath of chicken feathers around their neck. Obviously, it was Samantha. They laughed at my bababooey remark to the buoy in the trees. It was faded but the "No Wake". I laughed a good and hearty laugh, like a goose, being strangled with a toy grabber arm. Standing up was a new beast however. (You try standing up after being ripped up and put back together again.) After struggling like a baby calf I stood up, feeling a slight disproportional weight coming from my right arm. My day be so fine then, boom, metal arm.
