We spent most of fall, all of winter and some of spring on this island. I feel like life has gotten too complicated as of late. Leaving seems like it's just simple. The Keeper will stay here and will do any jobs that nobody else wants to do. He isn't a slave, he is exactly what he deserves. He is a prisoner. Just how we want him. The memory of him standing up, after getting out of his handcuffs rushes back to me. I shutter. I need to get out and clear my head.
I walk along the beach for the last time. I am breathing in the crisp air, and I smile. We will make it to Australia. I just know it. I feel happy because I know that we will survive this. Somewhere inside I know we will find it.
That's when something went wrong. Something always goes wrong. I saw it before I even heard the dreaded words. I saw a tiny black dot on the horizon and then another, followed by one last one. No more came after that, but these were able to make my heart skip a beat. That's when I heard those dreaded words. I thought I would never have heard those words again but that always happens. Never once will I be able to say I forgot this day. As I hear someone shout out I wish I can't hear those few words, that make such a difference.
