The sun was burning. The small lapping sound of waves onto the wood woke her up. She felt the pain throughout her body. No clothing to shelter her from the scorching sun. She felt a sense of urgency thinking, ‘I have to get there. I have to warn them… but who? What did I have to tell them?’ She shouted, “Oh come on! You had it!” The pain was relenting. “Just let me die already. I can’t do this. I failed.” She cried into her sunburn hands and realized she had no tears. She put her hand in the water hoping it would cool her off and knowing that would probably make it worse. She screamed as loud as she could, “Help me! Please help me. I have to get there!” As she started giving into her death, she felt a soft splash and her hand being pushed up out of the water. She struggled to sit up and look around for the first time. But she saw nothing. No land. No ships. No nothing. She heard a noise and tried to focus her eyes into the water.
