Marooned
Jaden and Margo charted a boat
to go deep-sea diving for a day.
Then the storm came out of nowhere
with insane winds and frequent thunder.
The boat's captain would not make it.
Five hours after the wreck:
Jaden slowly gained consciousness
as Margo tended to their minor injuries.
The boat had washed upon the shore of an island.
Five weeks after the wreck:
They'd pulled the boat inland
a few hundred feet, using a rope.
Any available materials were used
to make a (temporary) campsite.
Five years after the wreck:
It was just those two. The whole time.
A cargo shipt or two must have lost boxes of goods
that had washed ashore now and then.
They made a life on an empty island
and even accepted it eventually.
