Still Alive - Not What I Want!
The sun is just before its halfway point as it travels through its daily journey across the sky
So, it's nearing the middle of the day...
The sea has calmed down...
So calm it could be sleeping....
The only signs of last night's event is the movement of objects no longer anywhere near there original settings...
But objects too big for one person to move alone were now scattered in random places everywhere...
It was still and quite peaceful...
One body lay in the water with its feet getting periodically kissed by the ocean
The waves gently caressing at their feet where they looked like they were sleeping 😴 😴💤💤😴 😴
Sam
*The body slowly began to move...
Only the fingers at first...
So not too noticeable to onlookers...*
Sam
(It's hot!
That sun is burning my skin and back)
Sam
(Why are my feet wet....)
Sam
*closing eyes and holding the acupoints at her temple as she covers her eyes with one hand and begins to recall flashes of her memory from the events from last night / early this morning that have left her stranded ....*
(I don't actually know where yet...
But my skin is on fire...
My entire body aches....
The only slightly annoying relief is the periodic, gentle splashing of cool water at my feet.
OMG!!!
I think I am actually alive!!!)
Sam
*Moves fingers... *
I still have all 10 fingers
Sam
*Moves toes...
All 10 toes still there too.
Sam
*tenderly moves arms. Circles left arm first, then follows with right*
They ache - but they seem to be attached and working...
Sam
*slowly flexes legs*
They seem ok too ...
I'll try to stand and walk in a minute...
I just need a bit more time to lie here and realize that I am actually still alive before I get up to face this situation...
Sam
*beginning to sob uncontrollably by herself*
(I don't actually want to face this situation)
Sam
(I don't think many humans would have survived...)
Sam
(I don't want to be the only human being alive...
I would have rather been killed than be alone)
Sam
*Slowly opens her eyes to assess where she is currently and what her surroundings look like*

I'm glad he/she's still alive too.
Now we get to follow along with their journey.
