Some would say I'm lucky, but I'd have to disagree -- the lucky went down with the cruise ship. I can't help but laugh at the irony of the situation. I've never been very sociable; preferring to be alone than with anyone else. Now I'm stuck on the cliché deserted island and I'd give anything to have another person around if for no other reason than to break...
Born in the darkness that is the underworld, taught to behave as a helper to those who expedite death, I wonder what it will be like to be here for centuries more, even though nearly one has passed, and I have not aged past my 21st birthday.

It had been a long walk through the tropical forest. Shelly began to wonder if somehow she had taken a wrong turn somewhere. The path, which was narrow to begin with, was now almost nonexistent. She pulled out the Instructions with the map attached. It looked like she was going the right way but she just wasn't sure. She was nervous enough without taking on...
MONDAY MORNING "Don't waste your time," Steve volunteered as he showed Carl around the office. They both glanced at the statuesque young woman across the room.
