Deserted Island Description

The island had no cliff edges in it and was almost a perfect circle. One large tower stood in the middle of the island and there was an abandoned port on the side of the island I landed on. These two structures told me that there must have been some human activity on the island even though now it seemed fully deserted. The tower was made of dull black tiles while the port was made of wine red coloured wood obtained from the forest.  

From my encampment all there was to be seen was green leaves, sea green, grass green and bottle green. Birds of large stature were abundant on this island. Their looming presence seemed to be the omen of dark intent as their dark sharp eyes stared at me with hunger and desire for human meat. The birds were distinguished easily as one type had bright orange and shiny blue feathers while the others had a mixture of grey and black feathers so when the light struck at different angles I saw the different coloured feathers.

Rain fell on the island like a never ending firing of bullets in a war. It fell straight down onto the island at a 90 degree angle forcing away the sand as it fell. With the rain came the sweet smell of damp sand mixed with the arising aroma of the salty sea which created a feeling I had never encountered. Small lakes were created on the island from the excess water and fish flopped into the lakes hobbling around gasping because there wasn’t enough water for them to breathe.  

I could hear hushed whispering sounds from the forest as the wind whistled past the trees. An occasional squirrel scuttled along the sandy beach to hide his acorn often not making his destination as it was picked up by the birds clouding the air.  

Edible food was as scarce as finding humans on the island and the only food that I could find was rotten fruit which had fallen of the trees. This included rotten apples, mouldy grapes and dried bananas. If ever I saw good quality food it was either with worms in it or other animals scooped it up before I reached it. My only source of water was a pond on the west side of the forest where every type of animal on the island came and drank. The colour of the water was pale green almost like the leaves it was surrounded by and it didn’t feel like the cleanest water but as it was the only source I had to drink it.
