I could feel my self waking

My body still weak but sleep had given me some energy

I could see far out the sun rising over the horizon

The sky painted orange and yellow, bright and sultry

I could hear the waves brushing up against the shore

It was a beautiful sight, that mesmerized me but my mission wasn't forgotten.

It has been three days and I could only survive one more without water or food

I had to find shelter, food, clothes, something. All i have is a broken ticking clock

which reads "7:44" But I had no way to know if this was the time or not.

My clothes are torn and tatered; my head throbbing like I my liver was filled with scotch. I had to drink something.

My mouth was dry and my tongue was raw. i began to walk unto the beach, dragging my body to the shore. Then dropping it at the shoreline.

I knew it would make me sick

But I had to have it.

I begun to drink the saltwater like a dog, gulping it down hurriedly.
