Stranded

Chapter 2

Hi guys sorry its been sooooo long but I am writing again! Vomment please! 😄

Corfie's Story

Corfie's eyes darted about the plane. Bodies were strewn on the aisle and across seats. She trembled. The dismembered body of her husband lay across her lap. She slowly stroked his hair while singing a tune that her mother ha whispered to her as a child.

Slowly, slowly close your eyes, 

Now it's time for beddy byes 

Snuggle now into your pillow 

I love you loads my pretty willow

Sail off into dreamland baby dear 

Pirate ships you will steer 

Fairies prance while goblins dance 

Through jungles you shall advance

Sleep tight my little cherrypie 

On a bed of clouds you do lie 

Flying higher than the sky 

I love you my cherrypie

Corfie wept over the mangled body when she heard a man shout for all remaining passengers to leave the aircraft. She said her last goodbyes and stumbled off the plane.

Corfie fell into soft, sun kissed sand. It burned her knees so she sat in the shade. 2 other women and 4 men sat with her. No one said a word. No one needed to. Finally the steward who had given the orders tripped off the plane. He scrambled over to the others and miserably sunk into the sand. He didn't have a plan. No one had a plan.

Something had to be done. Corfie racked her brain for the answers. What did they need? WATER! In the distance Corfie spotted a lake, it was small but it was enough. She tried to shout but her brain was mush. She rambled rubbish at the others and finally resorted to pointing. The others saw it too! A water source, the answer to their problem.  

"Mirage," mumbled one of the men.  

Corfie's head searched for the voice'a source. 

"Emmscyoosche mye?" Corfie panted.  

"It's a mirage, it's not real!" said a rather irritated middle aged oriental man. Corfie looked at him quizzically. Lao Xiang sighed deeply.
