Day 103
Dear Diary,
we finally made a fire. The day was hard and I’m hungry. We woke up early and actually, I couldn’t sleep, because it was too hot, and the bugs were horrible. I was starving and I was thirsty. The day was passing really slowly. We caught a lizard and ate it. That was my first and only meal in the last two days. I’m still in shock. The island is full of rocks and my feet hurt. We are trying to keep our friendship stable. It’s hard. I almost drowned when I was fishing. At first, I thought that there was going to be a lot of fish but I was wrong. It’s evening now and we are sitting next to the fire. We are all dirty, hungry and thirsty. I miss my home. I can’t wait for the moment when someone will save us. Till then… We are going to fight. We are doing our best to survive. We also try to catch birds on cliffs but that is too dangerous. There is not a lot of drinkable water – that’s a problem. We made a shelter. It’s small, but it helps a lot. Also, it is really hard to get dry branches for fire. Sleeping here is really hard; there are a lot of bugs, it is hot or it is raining. Since the day we crashed on the island, I had some nightmares. I am helping my friends with hunting and cooking. We usually argue, but never for a long time. Now I’m going to sleep. I’m exhausted. We must rest well.
