He can't believe what he's hearing after all his time alone. There's something I'm certain you feel like doing right now, something you've been longing for, right?" She stares into his eyes. "Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her. "What's next?" When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom.

Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs." Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk.Īfter they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. "It's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice." "No! No thank you," He blurts out, still dazed. Sit down, please." "Would you like a drink?" While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck.Īs they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and treehouse. So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf.Īs the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware." "On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree." The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. "I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you." The woman replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank."

In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.Īfter about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank.
