The uninhabited island
Gradually I heard the very familiar sound of waves surging and receding in the distance. I slowly opened my eyes and I squinted when I suddenly saw the shimmer of the bright sun and it took me a while to adjust my eyes to the brightness. I shifted my arm slowly to stroke my puffed up cheek. Heaps of rough pebble and sands which were attached to my entire body felt like coarse cloth against my puckered skin. I sat up abruptly and took an extensive view of where I sat.
Where is this place? I turned my head from side to side to look around, and all I could see in front of me, was a bright gleaming endless ocean reflecting the bright sunlight, the calm waves lapping against the beach, sands and pebble which looked like countless diamonds sparkling in the bright light, seaweed swaying in the water, pieces of wood bobbing between the waves, and dried up colourless seashells. Cool nice breeze wafted over me and drifted the smell of fish and sea salt into my nostril which made me shiver. As I heard the whispering of the wind in the trees behind me I turned my head to the back to see what there was and what I saw was a great, big, dark, green forest which looked like as if it was going to attack me any minute. Soon I understood that I was on an uninhabited island. But, how did I get here? I thought to myself. I stretched my arm to the side to wake myself up and I felt something hard on my skin. It was a big fat log lying lonelily beside me. For a moment, I sat there unemotionally just staring at the log beside me, and then glanced at the calm waves breaking on the shore trying to work out how I got here. Then I felt a sudden surge of memories rushing back to me like water overflowing the bathtub.
