Snippet #930900

Seth shook his head and rolled over to the other side he was laying on. His sights laid on the woman walking away, named Pepper. He became confused. Let’s see if he could figure this out. He was in his room watching a special on AC/DC last night. He fell asleep. Next thing he knew, he was out on the beach in the shattered remains of the cruise liner. His cell phone wasn’t even going to work, period. Now some psycho crazy lady is ordering him around. This seriously, has to be a bad dream.

He fought his muscles and eventually caught himself, almost falling over off balance. He looked at Pepper and let out a rant, letting out a few stutters here and there. “Okay, look lady, I don’t know who the Hell you are, and what your deal is, but how can you possibly tell me to stop screaming? Okay! I mean, just last night I was enjoying my nice, and expensive graduation gift from my folks, and well you can see how that turned out. Now looking back, it was a pretty stupid idea in the first place. Now though, I wake up on some deserted beach, my cell phone is broken, I mean, completely useless, and I think I may have swallowed too much salt water. Oh, and uh, yeah, I don’t even know who you are, so how am I supposed to even expect that I can trust you? How do I know you’re not some… native cannibal islander who’s leading me off to be cooked for dinner?!”

He looked at the ground and ran a hand through his hair. It was wet, sloppy, and gritty. Ugh, nobody wanted to deal with hair like that. It was completely disgusting! He shook his head; some of the water still in his hair flew everywhere and dove towards the sand. Calming down right now was a really, hard task to accomplish. I mean, it’s not even about the fact that there’s another human form of life on this barren, lifeless, dirt hole. It’s just that, well, everything that could moderately go wrong, unfortunately did. Sure it’s not the worst of it all, but it is pretty bad to kick a man when he’s down, then just tease him and dangle a little piece of hope high above his head.
