Chapter 3
I wake up lying on the sand, back at the island. Why aren't I dead? I should be dead. Or paralyzed. But, no, here I am. Someone had to have saved me. But, who? I thought the island wasn't inhabited. I look for something, anything that will give me a sign. Is this some kind of trick done by Hollywood? Am I on a reality T.V. show? No, I don't believe that. The producers wouldn't let the stingray incident happen to me. I keep searching for a sign. About 8 feet away from me, next to a big boulder is made out in sticks and leaves, 'Sam was here.' Again, panic sets it. Who is Sam??? An escaped convict? A friend? A poacher? It doesn’t matter. If what I think happened actually happened, I will always owe him. My life was in their hands....and he... or she, saved me. Then again, one day while my parents were watching the news, the news guy said that in the wild, people often had illusions. Am I having illusions? I crawl over to the 'Sam was here sign and feel it. Yes, it is there, real as ever. Next to the sign is a stick. This must have been used to write in the sand with. I need to find this person. I write back 'Thank-you for saving me.' Under that, I write 'Show yourself.' I am alone, with Sam whom I don't know. I look at a flower, that has someone survived and grew through the sand. I am like that flower. Against the sea and sand, I have managed to survive. Just like...this flower. I want to take it out of its stem. I want to be able to see its beauty wherever I go. But, like me, the flower deserves to live. We have fought to survive. Now, we share a beach. No, I will not pick the flower. Instead, I look for a washed up shell. When I can't, I scream "Show yourself!" But to who? Sam? In reply I get sobs. They muffle the other sounds of the jungle nearby. Who do they belong to? Me.
