Supply and Demand
The second Clarence popped onto the island, he let out a gusty sigh. He was alone. Finally. No more paperwork, no more stress, no more passive-aggressive comments from Aurora about how he hadn't shown any significant contributions to The Cause lately — had he seen his Goodness Graph? Because if she had to calculate the slope for that, m would equal 0 — and yes, he knew she had a thing for mathematics and had even done a stint as a teacher in a high school trying to keep troubled youth from going down The Wrong Path (which, to Aurora, probably meant listening to music too loudly or something) but did she really have to brandish that graph in his face every time he went in for a progress check?

And, Breathe
Despite her best efforts, Celia was miserable. To most people the conditions would have been ideal: comfortable heat, cheery sun, a delicious salty breeze, and everything she could want was within arm's reach. Celia didn't know how to relax.

She jumped and giggled as she held onto shells and seaglass that were bejeweled to her castle which was now slipping into the ocean. Light cascaded around the blue, green and clear pieces as they floated in the waves.

Senses of Peace
Licking my lips, I couldn't be sure whether the salty taste was from the breeze of the ocean before me or from the countless tears I had cried. I grabbed fistfuls of sand, trying to get a grip on anything, but it ran out of my palms like an hourglass.

The Paleontologist and the Pilot
Tommy gasped for air as he broke the water's surface. Only minutes ago, he had been flying his small plane over the same water. An unexpected collision with a flock of seabirds disabled the engines, and down he and his plane went. Not all was lost, however; he'd gone down just off of a small, tropical island. Slowly, he swam to the island, clamoring on with great gasps from his labor. As he lay, face against the sandy shore, a shadow approached, until it was standing over him.
