Bali Hi
Castaway
The company sent a team to search the island.
The women proved not as diligent as the men, and
separated to skinny dip.
Holbart saw them from his hiding place and it upset him.
To the extent that he looked for an opportunity to cull one.
Rae cooperated by digging through her messy backpack for
a comb as the others dressed and left.
“I was always the mope,” she explained to him.
But a strong swimmer. They went to a nearby island to avoid
even more searchers the next day or so.
Moonless, but he knew the stars.
“Yeah,” she remarked, “it’s all there in there.”
Three years, and she wonders if her sister married.
Everything else working out.
