It was nice of him to offer me a ride on his yacht. Off we went, bobbing up and down. He shouted ‘duck’. I looked to port and starboard, but I couldn’t see one. It was then the boom swung round, bonked me on the shoulder and knocked me overboard. He didn’t seem to notice and just kept going, chattering away as if I was still there.
Anyway, I managed to swim ashore and I had a nice time wandering around a little island. I paddled in a stream, picked a flower, ate a banana, picked another flower and then got bored. Suddenly, it occurred to me, I was marooned. What now?
I scraped the word HELP in the sand, hoping someone flying overhead 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 up into the sky. Weeeee! I let go and stretched out my arms like airplane wings. Bad move. I did a free fall back into the briny.
I swam back ashore. Actually, I think I could get like this little island!.

Wow…a fantastic story in every way Keith. Well done take on the prompt. I love what you saw in the prompt photo~!
Thank you so much, Suzette!
So funny! i think I might like a little island all to myself- but I do not know for how long.
Me too, but not permanently!
You got all that from this photo? Wonderful things go on inside that noggin of yours! Too fun. I think I’d enjoy the island. For a couple of days…
Thanks, Dale. My noggin might appreciate a few days peace and quiet there!
I bet it would.
What a fun story, Keith… another banana perhaps? 🍌
Why not? At least they come free there!
A very interesting story Keith. Maybe with practice, he will also learn to swim to the mainland. Thanks for joining in. Loved this fun story.
Quite possibly, he may even get a lift on the back of a mermaid!
Now that’s an interesting possibility
That was a fun story, Keith! 😀 Surely, the charms of the island will wear off, eventually, though.
I think you are right, Debbie!
The English language can be so ambiguous! Another great tale.
Indeed, so many words with multiple meanings! Thanks, Christine.
Everyone needs a little island to get away to sometimes, I think. Nice story!
If only! Thanks, Mimi.
ah, an island getaway…
Wouldn’t it be lovely – for a while!
Hi Keith – you couldn’t stay in one place that long! Good to have as a ‘holiday home though – cheers Hilary
I’d like a holiday island! Cheers, Hilary.
Ha Ha I didn’t expect that to happen. Fun story, Keith.
