Part 3 (1/2)

I dug out some oysters later and even tried to spear a fish This ended in failure about fifty tied to spear a little tiny red one right next to it I felt like I had justtoss in the Olympics!

I nearly ran back to caht I hooted and hollered, but she just rocked back and forth on her hands After watching her for a few minutes, I slipped my hands under her waist and pulled her up to her feet She steadied herself and turned her head ever so slowly to look at ots off her other eye, and I ht roainst the gag like she was going to rip my nose off I backed away, sat on a rock, and watched her walk to the end of the rope, then strain against it She was no e-well, the good one did-and she reached for me with those hands that were now covered in sand, dried blood and chunks of her husband's skin

This is ridiculous I should just kill her

”Should I kill you, babe?”

Snarl

”Should I take you out and leave you in the water, point you away from the island and then say?”

Snarl

”Maybe hang you from a tree and set you on fire? Do you think a boat or plane would see that?”

Snarl

These one-sided conversations were getting on ation to chat with her Tell her ood time on the island Walk her from one end to the other All the stuff a couple should do

I cooked the fish and tossed her the raw fins She stared at theain She howled against the gag and reached for ot a stick and pushed one of the fins toward her She watched me, not the stick, not the fin She kept her eye on ross pink fluid bubbled out of her ht to keep my stomach calm I wanted to turn and throw up I knew that if I did that, I would have to re-eat the stuff, because I aed to keep it down after a few breaths Phew

What the hell was that crap co out of her mouth? If I didn't know any better, I would have said it was foauts are backed up from all the stuff she ate I can't take much more of this

Tomorrow, I plan to explore the island With any luck, I will find a better place to live

Day 10

My Girlfriend Hates to be Left Alone

I spent the day exploring the island It was a nice change of pace to get away fro skills aren't really up to snuff I passed the stream, followed it to a tree-covered hill, and atte round All I could think about was falling and breaking a leg That would be the end gaether here, and I had trouble getting through them The stream ran cleaner but not cooler I drank until I was full and then moved around the hill

I came across some more fruit and attempted to eat them I'm not sure what they were, but they tasted bitter, and they were very stringy I choked down the flesh of one and pocketed a few others for later

I found a new place to fish and dug out so their taste, I ate theo, I would have turned ht of shellfish Now I dreanon with crab and a bearniebernnieber-ah fuck it Whatever you call that green sauce on top

The day was co to an end, so I walked back to caht was ca way Ended up down the beach froht rolled in, and I was soon walking by the light of the moon This sucked If I didn't find my camp soon, I would have to find so really tired

Then I heard a splashi+ng noise

”Anyone there?” I called out, knowing that there was probably just the body of her husband Maybe he ca within reach, just waiting to grab me with his one hand as I strolled by

I shuddered, turned away and made my way in the opposite direction

I came across camp a few minutes later and plopped down behind s attackedfor every inch of exposed skin I slapped at them as fast as I could, but I kne this little battle would end Me, zip Bugs, about a billion

I heard a noise in the distance and wondered if a bird was nearby I gathered up a couple of rocks and listened Then I realized there was one sound I was not hearing, and that was the sound of her

I jumped to my feet and walked to the tree, hands held out before me in the dark I felt around the base and only found a strand of broken rope

Oh shi+t

I heard a sound and leaped back, hit the little fence and went down hard I was back on my feet in a second I was sure I would be in pain fro

I crept back tointo the darkness I looked from corner to corner, shape to shape, and tree to tree Theout Every splash of water, every rustle of a leaf scared the crap out of me

She would fall on me at any moment, and I would be too shocked to react, I just knew it I was exhausted from my walk around the island, butasleep

After standing in place for about half an hour, I decided to light a fire and catch her when she shambled into ca other than standing in place all night, freaked out that I ht be turned into zombie kitty chow

I sparked up the fire with a precious strip of paper and one of the reht quickly, and I fed it wood until I had a cozy blaze going I stood off to the side and waited for about an hour, but she didn't sha near the trees, but I hoped it was crabs or just a bunch of leaves rubbing together I thought I should investigate If ather them up I started to make a torch a half-dozen times but always found a reason in the back ofthere? What if she had developed sudden setting eaten instead of her dead husband

An hour passed, and rew She should have come back by now and tried to attack me She had been drawn to fire every tih she hates them What was different now?

Went to the fire after another half-hour and took out a long stick that was burning on the end I took a few breaths and started walking around the camp area Then I expanded ht of as the periuys were I don't have a bad-guy-o-meter in my head like they do in the movies Instead, I have a freak-er, I was probably going to die of fright Any minute, I expected her to ju teeth onto my neck and tear it out, just like in theat every shadow, flicker, or breeze She still didn't lurch out at ate the area the noises had co to score a crab or two With the fire nice and hot, they would cook upat the thought

I round in hopes of spotting one of the little guys That's when the hand touched my ankle

I'irl as I fell down again My breath came fast and furious as I scrambled backwards She had laid a trap for me bitch! After all I had done for her

”What's wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with you? I take care of you! I clean you! Why would you do that?”

Then I came across her body, andon her back with the rope wrapped around her body, one arainst her chest The other reached for s was hooked over a branch; the other was bent at the knee and tucked under her thigh Her skirt was around her waist, and it was the first thing I fixed Then I unbent her leg and took the other off the branch and stretched the around her ood eye was fixed on mine while she snapped behind the cloth I did hten her clothes while she did her best to eatto s in theand wash her off

”I'm sorry, baby I shouldn't have left you like that That wasn't cool”

I felt terrible Zombie or not, I should take better care of her I wouldn't treat an ene her I took her back to the fire and sat her down I tried to fix her hair, but it was ratted and lank, not greasy like I expect ht I bet she doesn't have oil at all fro dead and all Or because hot (even formerly hot) chicks don't seem to have problems like that
