Setting: Having survived a catastrophic cruise ship accident, Lisa Milner washes ashore an island. Wearing nothing but a flimsy nightshirt and shorts, she crawls across the sand and wedges herself into a small space between the rocks to collapse in exhaustion under the protection of a moonless night. Little does she know that she is not alone.
The lapping water against the shore comforted me. I was so sure that it had all been a bad dream and I was tucked safely in my stateroom bunk. I could even feel the tiny ship swaying back and forth. A tiny pinch on my arm, followed by a stronger one, forced me to open my eyes.
“Ack!” I sprung to my feet without even thinking. Dozens of crabs were scuttling across the sand toward the crevasse I’d just vacated. My head reeled and my knees collapsed, dropping me to the sand like a sack of potatoes. I was suddenly aware of every muscle ache, along with the dull pounding of my head.
It wasn’t a dream. Bits and pieces of events replayed in my mind much like a bad highlight reel. Oh, God, Jessica. I got separated from my friend and roommate when the first lurch of the vessel tossed her over the rail like a ragdoll. Closing my eyes, I tried to erase her terrified face from my memory. I can’t think about that now.
I had more pressing issues to address. My mouth and throat felt as if they’d been scraped with a knife. Raw. Dry. I need water. I felt a pinch at my butt as if to prompt me to get moving. I was once again surrounded by crabs. I was obviously in their territory. Very slowly and carefully, I pushed myself up onto my feet.
Surveying the area, the expanse of land I was on seemed to be quite large. I scanned one direction, then the other, in search of signs of civilization. There was none. Another rather urgent pinch on my toe let me know that I was no longer welcome where I was standing so I stepped one foot before the other toward the nearest grove of palms.
Sticks and other debris scratched at the undersides of my sensitive feet. I wasn’t accustomed to being barefoot. Hell, who was I kidding, I wasn’t what you would call an ‘outdoorsy’ kind of girl. I didn’t know the first thing about surviving without a microwave and coffee maker. Coffee. God, I could use a cup of coffee. But as I tried to swallow the small amount of saliva in my mouth, a thousand knives stabbed at my throat. No, you idiot; you need water.
I quickly realized that the farther I strayed from the water’s edge, the less movement there was at my feet. Almost no wildlife at all. I was so focused on watching for creepy, crawly things that I nearly missed the raft.
It wasn’t a raft, really. It was nothing more than a hollow door that had been my makeshift raft, keeping me afloat and bringing me to this place through the dark night. What is it doing there? It was wedged between two palm trees that were not even close to the edge of the grove. It was quite obvious that the water hadn’t put it there.
My heart rate tripled. I started to call out but wisely stopped myself. I had no idea where this place was, what kind of people there might be inhabiting the islands. We were asleep when the trouble began and about the only thing I could tell about where we were was that the water temperature was drastically warmer than the spot where the ship went down. Not long after finding my floating device, I could feel the change in temperature around my legs as if I were floating over some invisible barrier. Then I remember being pulled away from the wreckage and calls of swimming survivors until I was surrounded by nothing. For hours; Nothing.
I blinked myself back to the present, my elevated heart rate a reminder of my present precarious situation. I scanned the now more dense and shaded underbrush beneath the towering trees. I began to notice other debris and a pathway. Very carefully, I stepped through the denser foliage in a parallel line to the pathway until it suddenly ended. I sighed in disappointment believing that I’d hit a dead end when I suddenly heard a moan.
Holding my breath, I crouched to the ground. Another moan. Another. That’s not moaning; that’s snoring. Moving toward the sound, my eyes made out the shape laying beneath a shelter.
It was a man.
I blinked hard to see what my mind didn’t want to comprehend.
A naked man.
