Krit's Islander Career

5: Floating Around The Beyond

(TW: Hallucinations, Vomiting, Death)

------------------------------------

"...What the hell?"

Krit silently stood there, Wordless.

He couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't figure anything out.

...But...

What if the box never was with him in the first place?

What if the box he saw after that panic attack was just imagined?

"...Yeah... That makes sense..."

He felt absolutely wasted after that panic attack, Of course he would see things that aren't there...

...He doesn't know if he truly believes it, He doesn't know if he was just lying to himself. Krit looked at his truck, There was a bed in the storage space, But he was too tired to question it, He could only go with the explanation that he bought it and forgot due to the panic attack.

Stuffing himself into the driver's seat, He didn't know if he's in the condition to drive, But really, He didn't want to spend all that time walking back.

It's always nice to get home after a long day, Especially when he'd just been through a panic attack.

Setting the bed onto the concrete plate, Krit was glad he finally got a better place to sleep, And the bright moon was telling him to go to sleep as well...

He got onto his bed, And snuggled around. It felt really comfortable, Maybe even better than the soft sand on the shores, But Krit still felt more familiar with the sand, He's a fisherman, After all.

The bad mood caused by the stuff that happened was almost completely swiped away by the comfy bed, And Krit fell asleep with a small smile, He decided to really just let everything go, And maybe enjoy himself the next day...

█████████████████

It was warm... But it was no longer the sun that's heating him up, It's the soft and comfy bed beneath his body, That he bought with his own money... Probably.

Krit got off of the bed, And looked into the sky. After all the struggles, He finally got himself mentally together, And is able bring himself to doing something for fun...

...And what could be better than exploring around the place? It's an island, After all, And Krit hasn't seen everything yet.

So, With that as the objective in mind, He drove off to the bank, To check his credit card again, Nothing changed, He still had 500K, But he doesn't really mind anymore, He has an island to drive around...

█████████████████

...Well, It turns out, The only place that's worthy of an exploration is the cave... The other places are either plain grass fields or just simply trees, It doesn't even count as a forest. Krit heard from the cashier that there are minerals in that cave... So why not earn some extra money from an adventure?

After buying a pickaxe and a lantern, He got into his trustworthy truck, And drove off into the caves, The truck worked surprisingly well for the surface of the cave, And just a few minutes in, He'd already found his first chunk of minerals, Shining from the front lights of the truck.
