It was nice of him to offer me a lift on his yacht. I’d always wanted to visit the uninhabited island across the bay. Off we went, bobbing up and down. He shouted ‘duck’. I looked to port and starboard, but couldn’t see one. It was then the boom swung round, bonked me on the head and knocked me overboard. He didn’t notice and just kept going.
Anyway, I swam ashore and had a nice time wandering around the island. I paddled in a stream, picked a daisy, drew my name in the sand, picked another daisy then got bored. Then it occurred to me – I was marooned. What now?
This kind of thing must have happened before because some thoughtful soul had left a blackboard and chalk on the rocks. I wrote HELP on it and hoped someone would see it.
Somebody did. A pretty girl landed her paraglider alongside me. She told me to jump on her back, so needless to say I did. Then she ran along the shore until we shot into the sky. Weeeee! I stretched out my arms like aeroplane wings. Bad move. I did a free fall down into the briny.
I suppose I could get to like this island.

A fun and very imaginative piece.
Thanks so much, Piyali
Enjoyed this Keith. Thank you.
Thanks so much Arti
All in all it doesn’t seem like a bad place to spend the rest of your life! 😉
I am actually think of moving there – as long as there’s wi-fi available!
Till another girl finds him 🙂
Indeed! Thanks Reena
I think we all wonder what we would do on a desert island all by ourselves. Fun take on the prompt, Keith.
It could be fun – for a while!
Heeheehee! It might be nice to get away from it all for a little while, but i think a short visit to such an island is best. Fun story!
I quite agree!
Who would mind to get lost in an uninhabited island if rescue is as beautiful?
Absolutely! Cheers Abhijit
I stayed a few days on Aruba a few years back. Not sure if I’d want to live there. Spotty wifi.
Just give me some kind of water near by. I’ve got a little creek out back now, still seeing some ducks actually – not quite a sandy beach and winters are cold, but ‘There’s no place like home!’
A fun read, a bit dreamy – to bad I have to wake up.
I can see the sea from where I’m sitting, and I cant imagine not having it close by. Thanks Jules
Since I cannot have the sea, I see a creek.
Water in any form is so soothing 🙂
It is Jules. I can sit and watch it for hours on end.

I smiled and then smiled again, great storytelling.
Delighted to have amused you Michael!
