Historical

Island of the Mori. Runner-Up in the Improbable Paradise Challenge.
Dr. McCormick made his case most vehemently before the captain and the first and second mate. The island I proposed to visit was nothing more than a barren rock in the sea which did not appear on any of our charts and had no apparent strategic value from a military or economic perspective. It was virtually devoid of plant life and any fauna were bound to be minimal and most primitive. For all we knew there was no safe place to make landfall.

Curse of the Ancient Temple
Chapter 1: The Discovery The jungles of South America were thick and hot, and the air was heavy with the sounds of the rainforest. But for the group of archaeologists and treasure hunters, the heat was not the only thing that was making them sweat. They were searching for the ancient temple of the Aztecs, a place said to be cursed with untold riches and dangerous secrets. The leader of the group, Professor James Taylor, had been searching for this temple for years. He had studied every known piece of information about the temple, and was convinced that it was the key to unlocking the secrets of the ancient Aztecs. The group finally found the entrance to the temple, a massive stone archway that was carved with intricate designs and symbols. They stepped inside, and were immediately struck by the beauty of the temple. The walls were covered in gold and precious stones, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of incense. But as they explored further into the temple, they began to sense that something was not right. The silence was deafening, and there was a feeling of unease that seemed to linger in the air.

Marooned
He sat back against the log of the collapsed palm tree while sipping from the bottle of rum that sat besides him. The fire he built crackled in front of him and hid the darkening shadows of his ship’s tall masts and white sails behind it. A bright full moon reflected off the surface of the water with the plethora of constellations he studied in order to navigate the seas. Their blinking was blurred in his drunken vison as he glared up at them and hummed shanties until his eyelids slipped closed and he drifted off to sleep with the sound or cracking wood and crashing waves.

Chapter 1: Among the ruins
Another beach, Elijah sighed, gazing out across the vast, undulating plain of a thousand liquid mirrors that came to a foamy end on the grey-white sand. They had been on Corfu for almost a week now, and on several other Greek islands before that, and in all that time, his friends had wanted to do nothing except lie on the sand, swim in the turquoise sea, and ogle the bevy of foreign beauties frolicking in the water. All Elijah wanted to do was explore. He and three of his friends booked this trip because they had all wanted to experience Greece, but once they arrived, it became painfully apparent that they had all wanted to come to Greece for reasons different from his own.
