Part 10 (1/2)

My Girlfriend is Falling Apart

We barely ain She slowly-I ht at the sky I thought she was going to break out in a song from the way her mouth opened and her eye rolled back in her head Was this her way of showing fear?

I took her to the tree, the big one with the huge leaves that kept her fairly dry, and tied her up She lunged atfor ood two or three feet I think she has lost whatever depth perception she used to have After the night before, I pretended that she didn't want o Sorry, honey I have work to do

I dashed to my little lean-to, which leaked because I hadn't fixed the walls in a while, even though I keptto I shi+fted the parts aside until I could find a decent place to lie down that wasn't dripping rain I took out the last of the romance novels and read it out loud In this one, a wo with a bunch of ood orgasm

There was a lot of inner reflection Silly stuff about how she felt and how arded her She went on for pages about how she was unloved and neglected by ht, who happened to be a pilot I wish there were a pilot here so he could fly my ass off this rock It was just plain silly, but I read it anyway I think she has enjoyed this one just as much as the others

I finally fell asleep after taking the last deep drink of the tequila I was down to just a few shots, if that I slurped them down and used fresh raindrops as a chaser It did the trick and helpedI saw before I closedat me like I was a bowl of chicken teriyaki She looked ridiculous with the gag on her rottingal to work on the raft all day, and with any luck, I would leave the island tomorrow I blew a kiss to her as I went by She snarled ataround the tree in circles like she used to do Well, I guess I'

I untied her and left her alone She could do whatever she wanted to as long as she kept her teeth safely behind the gag I was pretty sure I would have to fight her off once or twice today, but hey, who doesn't want a girl's attention?

The first thing I did was get as ht before, I had left the luggage with my collection of shellfish in a pool of water to keep them fresh I added to the collection and tossed out the ones I thought were dead If they ry as I have been, I have no desire to cook dead stuff and eat it That doesn't sound right Freshly dead stuff Like saying freshly live stuff, this brought back badher husband as he lu the dead shark with the death breath I don't think I will ever be able to watch a zo as I live

She wandered near a couple of times, but only ca her cluet it around ers snapped backwards and stuck there I grabbed her wrist to take a look I tried to push the finger back in the right direction, but when I did, it caer in one hand and did a double take crap, she really was falling apart

I pushed her away and tossed the finger aside On second thought, I dug a hole in the sand and buried it No sense in creating more zombie animals She stumbled away on her heavy metal foot and walked in circles for a while Every time she spun past ht to coain Just in case, I escorted her to the tree where her husband's rotting parts were hanging and left her facing it She stared up at one of his legs and snarled like she was still pissed at hiht some of the little fish that collect near the pools of water the tide leaves in the rocks Nottheht so they would dry out and turn into tiny-fish jerky They would go great with so from dried out seawater Sea salt froht after I firebomb this Goddas on the raft were holding up pretty well A day by the beach see to use to start my new company If the sea-salt business doesn't work out, and how can it not, maybe I will hire so theive theevity pills or so

Or keep people alive for a while

Or start a zombie invasion Yeah, I have seen the movies It only takes one evil doctor in a laboratory to start that shi+t up, and then everyone is forced to live in a farht Screw that

Still, I went to the little evil flowers and studied them for a few minutes I tried to stay away froerous it was If she ate the berries, there was no telling what other aniest them

The floas still in bloom, a beautiful violet-colored blosso serrated blades for leaves The berries hung under them and reminded me of blueberries, but smaller I took a stick and knocked a few off, then scooped them toward me

Just a couple of inches away-death and rebirth I studied theo with me I wrapped some in a leaf and then double-wrapped that with another Took those back to the camp, put them in one of thewith all the other things I had, which didn't ahter that I kept in the plastic storage bag Ally bought ed wallet and what is left of my ID cards

An empty bottle of tequila I would save to use for water

I took a couple of the books I had collected over the last feeeks, the ones I had read and disliked the least I thought about bringing the ene to leave her here to rot There just wasn't roo to do with a zo apart?

Would I be sad to leave her behind? A little bit But when I cauys where I had lived and how I had survived, she would still be there as proof That was going to be a great day I bet I was going to be on Oprah with irlfriend, Ally, aited so patiently for me to survive Everyone would want to hear ht write a book about it based on you, dear Diary I mean how hard can it be to write a book with zo There had been no sign of pigs or boars or whatever that tusked thing was that she killed I wish one would show up so I could cook it Boar jerky probably tasted a A lot better than the spiny starfish I was used to living on

She wasn't near the tree when I got back to caether not far froht in a pair of branches When I went to free her, she didn't even try to bite otten so used to being on guard froe not to have my hands up to fend off her attacks She just followed s I stopped near the tree her hubby was in

I wonder how he is doing up there? If I walk out into the water, I can just see his rotting head I don't like to do that I waved at his shape nonetheless and went back to adding shellfish to erator”

Tomorrow is the day I can't wait!

I looked her over later in the day Took off her dress and left it on the ground I was going to bring it with me in case I needed the cloth to fix the raft She had a lot more of those patches of dead skin Dead skin That sounds funny, since her whole body is dead

A couple of the patches of skin fell off, and I could see the dried tendons underneath Come to think of it, she does sort of creak and ether I have seen sos in the past feeeks, so I think that can explain rabbed her arross holes left in her skin Her forearainst one only to discover that it was really dry The tendons inside were almost hard They didn't squish like they should I pushed one aside and looked at her to see if she felt it She didn't show any sign of pain or even irritability Of course, with her , it is hard to tell if she isaside sandy stuff that sprinkled on the ground, and touched the bone I pushed it a few times to see if it was hollow, but it seeood She started to pull her hand away, and I could feel the leathery tendons tighten over er I jerked it out of the hole and looked at it tostupid I s, I went to the pool of water and scrubbed my hands in sand and water I rubbed so hard that I almost drew blood

I don't knohat to do with her With those big sores, she is going to be filled with bugs soon I can't have theirl from the inside out One day she will have so many in her that she will just fall apart, and that will be a real sha to believe that I lived on a deserted island with a zoo crazy and kill her?

I went back to camp and tossed her clothes in a heap Then I went over her body and cleaned up as many of the little critters as I could It was a thankless job, but she put up with it In fact, she only tried to bite me a couple of times

I moved her eye patch aside and cleaned out a spider that was living there He was a nasty-looking thing that had green legs with red spots all over the him out with a stick and tossed him on the fire

I helped her up, stuck her(that will keep her out of zombie trouble) and went back to work on the raft

It was just about done There wasn'tthick sticks about ten inches around-with the tail section secured to the top so I can sleep in it I have so coconuts for the last few days Have about ten or eleven of the and secure it to the top of the raft

I took everything of importance I could find and added it Knife, eazines

The raft is all set It's on a bunch of sive it a push and it will roll right into the water Too bad I don't have a coht and aiirl? What to do

Well, Diary, I will call it a night It's a big day toes I don't knohat I rite on when they are full, but with any luck, I will be rescued by then

Day 29

My Girlfriend is Dead Weight

I had trouble sleeping last night, because I was so excited! I got up a few tis, rubbed one out, sang a few songs, stuff like that It was so hot that I lay sweating for hours before exhaustion finally took over and I slept I woke up just before dawn and felt like I had sand in my eyes because they were so dry

I went down and checked the tide, but it was still out about twenty feet I started getting ready by rolling a log behind the raft and finding a strong branch I could use to launch it I went over all of the knots and straps again, looking for any loose ones, but they were all holding up pretty well

The heat was already starting to piss athered soed to snatch up by once again offering ood way to catch crabs, because they are fast little bastards in the water He reared back, and I thought I would get ht between the thuer It was like a bolt of pain ripped rabbed him by the back of his shell, marched back to the fire and pro him wither and crackle while I showed hi those little hooting noises That better not be laughter

”You're next if it is”
