Inventor's Imperium
• Apr. 7, 2009 - The Island
Continued from last entry...
I lay on the beach—unconscious.
The last thing I remembered was something falling on me—I didn't (and still don't) know what it was but, whatever it was, it was large enough, and was going fast enough, to knock me out of my senses.
I awoke to the sun's bright rays.
I felt very dizzy and my head felt heavy and tingly, like a sleeping foot.
I managed to struggle to my feet and see that there was something coming up from the horizon.
I squinted and saw... Tom—on a crate of scuba gear!
He floated to shore where I greeted him.
I suggested to go to a nearby hill and see how big the island was—or if it was, in fact, an island at all.
But Tom, who wasn't used to fasting for long periods, wanted to find something to eat.
I eventually won the argument, though, on condition that we would stop somewhere in the jungle to snack on bananas—so I didn't really quite win.
Anyways, we began our trek and, soon, we were deep in the thick jungle.
We stopped in a small clearing to eat bananas.
After that, we went back into the jungle.
Halfway on journey, a monkey stole my book on advanced physics I was reading.
I tried getting it back but he just wouldn't let go.
Soon, I gave-up and I continued our journey.
Once we made it up the hill, I realized that this was, indeed, and island—and a quite small one, too—only about 10 miles in diameter.
I looked back to see how far away from shore we were and realized that the monkey had followed me and was reading his book he had won from me.
I wondered where Travis and Andre McCoffingham were—anyhow, I realized that we needed to build some kind of temporary shelter, so as not to get soaked (I already was today)—there appeared to be rain-clouds in the distance and, after-all, this was a rain forest.
So, shortly after we arrived, we descended down hill and went back towards the shore.
There, Tom, Sam (that's what I named the monkey), and I built a small yurt around a palm tree.
