Luke enjoyed the silence that followed. The boy had mostly left him alone, and only appeared once to ask how long he had been trapped on the deserted island.
Michael walked up to Luke, "How long have I been here? I need to get back, I have my friends wedding-"
"Time is difficult here." Luke responded.
"Why are you so rude? Try and be nice. At least meet me halfway"
That was the only interaction they had had for days. Sadly, Michael was Tied to the shifting ground of Luke's island.
He just aimlessly wandered around the island, no purpose. He was becoming skin and bones, growing thinner each day. Luke wasn't cruel enough to let him starve, so he sent some invisible servants to give Michael food.
Luke noticed how wreck Michaels clothing was. It was in shambles, torn and covered in dirt. So He wove him a set of clothes. But, Michael ruined that pair too. So, Luke wove him another set. And so forth.
One time Michael came to Luke's cave house, maybe it was to thank her. But his sudden presence startled Luke so much that he started yelling, and pegging pots at him. That scared Michael off fairly quickly.
Some time passed, and one day Luke heard clanging near the shore. At first He ignored it, but then all the birds got scared. his only friends flew away, off the island. They flew over the ocean. Luke's clear blue ocean.
He ran down, following the sound. There sat Michael, using a makeshift hammer. He was pounding at some pieces of metal.
" You have been Clanging on metal all day long. You're scaring away the birds." Luke snapped.
"Oh, no, not the birds!"
Luke rolled his blue eyes. "What do you hope to accomplish?"
He looked up, and jumped when his hammer almost smashed his finger. He stared for a moment, mouth slightly agape, before saying, "I'm hoping to get off this island. That is what you want, right?"
What was he staring at? What an idiot. Luke sighed and set down a basket of food near the boy. "You haven't eaten in two days. Take a break and eat."
"Two days?" Michael eyes widened, his brow furrowing. "Thanks. I'll, uh, try to hammer more quietly."
Like didn't believe that he would try.
