Day 8

is this the end?

January 17, 2012 " Day 8

     I wake up to a random dude standing over me, concern clearly etched on his face. When he saw that I was awake he yelled over to someone that I was alive. He proceeded to lift me up into his arms and carry me towards a small rowboat that already held some of my friends. I looked towards the beach and beheld our handiwork. The fire had burned down, all that was left was an enormous pile of ash and a few smoldering embers. It looked sad and pitiful, like the phoenix that had died. The rowboat headed out, its prow pointed towards a gigantic monster of a ship.
     When we got to the ship I insisted that I was well enough to stand at the rail and say good-bye to the island. As the ship started to pull away the island seemed to shimmer and I saw a much larger version of the magical tree of my dreams standing guard over the entire island. Would we ever find out the secret of this unknown island? The sound of soft music suffused the air and the tree brightened then disappeared.         
     Something flashed then something small and shiny floated towards me. I opened my hand and reached out and a small bronze leaf drifted to a rest on my palm. Reverently, I placed it in my wallet of memories and vowed never to forget about the island.
