The deserted island

            A few days ago in the middle of the ocean and crashed my ship on a rock and floated to a deserted island. The only thing I had to eat is coconuts off the palm trees. I lay on the sand with all the rocks I could find forming "HELP". Lying on the sand I thought no one would find me and I would never escape. There was no escape because of the surrounding sharks. That was ready to eat me at any moment. .
             The sharks with their massive jaws ready to eat. They leave every once in a while to go snack and eat. They come right back as soon as I put my foot in the water to try to swim away. Almost every time I throw a rock in the water they try to eat it. Also with their streamline body's they can swim 4 times as fast as I can. So with the sharks surrounding the island there is no escape. .
             The palm trees are the most amazing thing on the island because there out in the middle of the ocean. Were there is no fresh water anywhere to be found. The only source of water is the salt water and the palm trees are surviving off that. They are a little different color than regular palm trees but that is probably because of the salt water. They are a little green and the rough bark is yellow. The trees are still different although the coconuts still taste the same as regular coconut.
             The ship was the worst thing I could see. With only half of the boat out of the water and the other half 10 feet under sea water it was a hurtful site. Also the most hated thing in the area is the rock that sunk my ship. Also the sight of the sharks swarming around my boat disturbed me. There are still fragments of my boat on the sand on the island that I collect trying to make a new boat.
             The man a battered man with very little life left in him. He was only surviving on coconuts and salt water. He was skinny as a twig and as energetic as a slug. The little energy he had left he put all the rocks he could find to form "HELP" so planes could see it.
