The Unknown:

Where am I?

Where is this place?

My head feels heavy as if I have been sleeping for 24 hours straight. I look around and find myself in an unfamiliar place.

Is this a dream?

I see nothing but coconut trees everywhere. Some coconuts are on the ground. I see some other trees that I couldn't recognize. I can hear the loud waves of the sea and the faint squealing of some birds.

If there is a sea nearby, maybe I can find some people!

I try to rush towards the beach only to be unable to move an inch. I panic seeing blood on the ground. Did someone try to kill me? I frantically check myself to see if I have been stabbed. Luckily there are no signs of me getting stabbed, no wounds, except for a few bruises on my arms and legs. The blood on the ground seems dry. From what I can tell, it must have been there for at least two to four days. I sigh with relief, knowing that the blood isn't mine, but I slowly turn pale. I whisper to myself "If it is not my blood, then whose is it?" My throat gets dry, and I feel nauseous. The thought that I might have hurt someone, or something makes me feel disgusted.

I don't know, the blood being here must be a coincidence. The blood was probably already here before I got here. I try to calm myself down.

Ughhh FUCK! The pain gets more intense. I wish I had some ibuprofen with me.

I feel sore, but I have never been this sore in my entire life. I don't know why! I must have been lying here for days. I decide to wait till the pain in my body subsided. I try to recollect what events might have led me here.

Is anyone pranking me? I can't think of any of my friends who would go to this length to prank me. I try to think of possible enemies who could have done this to me, but no one comes to mind.

The last thing I remember is walking into the convenience store to get the ingredients for dumplings. I planned to invite my friends over this weekend and make dumplings with them. I was going to invite Richard and finally tell him how I feel about him. I have had a crush on Richard since my freshman year of college. I always wanted to tell him how I felt about him, but he always seemed out of my reach. I wish I had told him how I felt, I don't know if I will ever get an opportunity now.

After thinking about my one-sided crush for a while, I snap back to reality. I need to find my way out of here. First, I need to figure out where I am! All of a sudden I feel dizzy, I am slowly losing consciousness. I see a faint shadow moving towards me but before I could figure out what was going on I fell to the ground.

Thud!! my head hits the ground.

I don't know how long I have been out for. But luckily it looks like the shadows I had seen before didn't do anything to me.

Phewww, I am alive! For now at least, but If I don't find anything to eat in a couple of hours, I might just starve to death.

I had no idea how long I have been on this island. As the pain in my body subsides, I slowly get up and start to follow the footprints. They led me to a small clearing in the trees, where I saw a group of people gathered around a fire. They turn to look at me as I approach, and just then I realized all of them are wearing masks. Sudden uneasiness and chill run through my head. Even with the mask, I can recognize someone in the crowd. Those eyes, I have seen them before!!

Who is he??
