The Island
They were both stranded in the same island, they just didn’t know it, they taught they were all alone. They reason didn’t see each other was because the island had a big mountain right in the middle splitting it up in half, so unfortunately, they had been stranded in different halves and they couldn’t cross that mountain because his leg was hurt badly, he tried to climb it but he just couldn’t and she was to scared of heights, she tried but gave up crying. The reason they were stranded was because their boat exploded, it was a Friday night, he was traveling with his brother in that old boat because they didn’t have money for a plane to London so that was their only cheap option, that night he and his brother were getting very drunk but his brother went to bed early because he was just to tired while he wanted to look at the stars so he went to the deck, he started to pass out when he heard an explosion, he tried to get up but he was just too drunk so he ended up falling and hurting his leg, every night he tries to remember exactly what happened but it is all just too blurry, she was in that boat because she wanted to travel the world alone, but she couldn’t travel by plane because of her fear of heights plus she wanted something cheaper so she got on that boat, the night of the explosion she wanted to smoke some cigarettes so that’s why she was outside so late, she saw the explosion and tried to get in to help people but everything was going up in flames, she screamed but nobody responded her, she tried getting in but it was impossible so, she got the lifeboats ready hoping anyone would come outside, but nobody came and if she stayed any longer she would have died. When they both arrived at the island separately they felt hopeless, they felt really alone, she thought it was ironic how she wanted to be alone and now that she was, it was in the worst situation ever. Every day to kill time they both tried to keep busy doing stupid things, he couldn’t move much so he made things with his hands, rope and things to use for living, he didn’t want to think about his brother so he did everything he could to forget, she learned how to start a fire and how to catch fish too eat, every day she tried to do something new and every morning she stared at that mountain and imagined what was on the other side, she saw the other side as a place of hope, she wanted to climb it but was full of fear, she hated herself for it. One day she heard a ship, she thought she was crazy but she run to shore anyway, she was so happy and full of hope, she started a fire for the ship to see but they just went away, the ship just got farther away, she screamed and cried and felt without purpose, she had never felt angrier, that day she screamed until she didn’t have a voice and cried until she felt asleep, the next day she decided that she had to overcome her fear and climb that mountain, this time she was not going to chicken out, she climb and climb she told herself to not look down but halfway there she looked and wanted to give up but it was too late to go back, when she got to the top she felt fulfilled, at least she had accomplish something, she went down and started to explore that side of the island, her first thought was that it was definitely prettier, he was sleeping but he heard something strange, so he decide to go investigate he didn’t think much of it but he was just curious. She heard a waterfall and became excited, so she run towards the sound and when she saw it she immediately got in, but then she heard something strange, like if someone was approaching.
Then they saw each other
