33 2.10- Exile Island (1/2)

I slowly opened my eyes and found the whole surroundings to be totally unfamiliar to me. I was propped against a rotting tree trunk and was lying sprawled on the ground. I looked around and found nothing befitting to the campsite that I was in a few hours ago or so. The sun rays above breaking through the foliage of the forest showed little clue whether it was in the morning or in the afternoon.

I rubbed my eyes and somehow I felt something heavy was strapped around my neck. I felt around it and found it was some kind of metal contraption and after groping it around I discovered a small padlock at the back of my neck. It was like a big dog collar meant for a small person like me.

I looked down and found that my previously worn clothes were missing. It was now replaced with a type of digi camouflaged pants and a matching shirt. I had also a pair of rubber jungle boots on. The digi camouflaged was of dense jungle type.

I tried to struggle and stand up and felt rather unrestrained at the same time. There were no chains or shackles but I felt there was something else strapped at the right ankle of mine; just underneath the canvas of the jungle boot. I took off my right boot and found another device with a blinking red light attached to it. It was a thin metal clasp with a small tiny device and there wasn't a lock or anything securing it. A set of 'hinges' was used to lock the device in place.

*** Somewhere in the parts of the island ***

The rest of the students slowly stirred out of their stupor and discovered they were in the same peril as me. Although they were all separated from the main group, everyone seemed to be scattered all over the island. One was near a creek, one was on top of a cliff's edge, another was awakened inside an abandoned wooden dilapidated hut while the rest ended up in the hearts of the jungle. As everyone stirred up and discovered their clothes were missing and being replaced by the military-grade clothes and jungle boots, they soon realized about the contraption that was around their neck with a padlock securely fixed behind their neck.

”Hello!!! Is there anyone around?!? Hello!!! Can you hear me...?!?” I shouted and only the echoes of the forest answered me beside the numerous insects that buzzed around me.

I looked around and discovered that there was no path or any indication of a way to get around this godforsaken place.

I saw a small canvas bag that resembled a ”china bag” and contained a folding pocket knife and a can opener, a 350 millilitres of the plain water bottle, a roll of aluminium foil and a flint and magnesium strike match. I slung the bag across my shoulders.

I stood up and try to find any kind of answers to my befuddled head. I took up courage and decided to use the rotten tree stump as my marker as I walk straight into the jungle with no God damn idea of where I am going in the first place.

Suddenly an electronic kind of voice boomed across the forest. It was amplified by the loudspeakers that were hung high into the tree trunks. A camera with PTZIR or pan tilt zoom infrared capability was affixed to some trees away.

”Hello everyone...!Welcome to Exile Island! You are now our guests of honour that comprise of 6 boys and 6 girls all coming from Shimizu Higashi High School! You may not realize your importance but I can tell you this; all of you are Superstars in my reality game show!!! ” the voice boomed through the loudspeakers that bounced off echoes in the forest.
