Help[Games] Re: "Island Survivors" Congrats (Sign-ups)
in reply to a message by elysa
Justin Anthony Hart was worried. Very worried. For the past week, things have been beyond frightening - the aeroplane crashing down, the floating about in the sea, the screaming, the crying, the terror... it was more than his worst nightmares, or anything else he could imagine. His best consolation was that he was still (barely) alive, and that he is now sitting on dry sand with the other survivors instead of clinging helplessly to a bit of debris, and that things were playing out like a film would (which were, of course, not very consoling). His greatest question right now was: where is his family?
He's fourteenn, damn it - fourteen! Justin was not, strictly speaking, a habitual dirty mouth, but at that point he was too angry and terrified to care. He ought to be able to swim, right? He's a good swimmer in school, and so is mum. And Dad is strong - he'd probably be helping someone right now in another part of the island - right?
Frantic thoughts filled his mind. Though utterly exhausted and with gnawing hunger still in his stomach, Justin had made up his mind. He stood up and marched to the nearest survivor - who, judging by her uniform, was most likely a flight attendant. He remembered her as the one who gave his brother the orange juice. He tapped on her arm and began asking. Did she see his family? The Harts, father is Tony, mother is Stephanie, his brother David, two years younger. When the woman shook her head, Justin went off to ask the others. When no-one gave him a conclusive answer, he wandered off, shouting for his family.
After a few hours, he finally collapsed of exhaustion and thirst. His throat hurt from the straining and shouting. And still the results were futile. This was never supposed to happen - we were just going bloody home! Justin recalled the stay in L.A. vaguely, as if it were a dream. Tears started rolling down his face, and his body shook with every sob. Dad was attending a seminary, he brought us with him. Took us around the state, and several other places. We even went to Anaheim - Justin thought of the things he saw, the people he met. None of them could help him now, not even the -
Wait.
The shrubbery was being brushed aside. There were people coming, he could hear it. Stifled sobs. Frantic voice. A calmer, older voice. They stopped. The younger voice called out.
"Justin!"
A pair of arms wrapped tightly around his shoulders. When Justin opened his eyes, he found himself in a messy embrace with his brother. Unable to speak, he merely started laughing, pulling David closer to him. In time, he looked up to see who had helped them reunite at last. On the side of the clearing, Justin saw an adult man, smiling timidly, and recognised the face. Where had he seen him before? The man, too, seemed to recognise him, for he said:
"You're - you're the one - musical chairs!"
