LOST
He opened his eyes. He was flat on his back looking up into a clearing in a bamboo field, amazingly not impaled by the many bamboo stalks surrounding.
He quickly sat up, "Where am I?" he thought.
BARK!
The man turned around to see a golden furred Labrador running through the thicket. It stopped and looked at him for a second before running off in a different direction.
He stood up, and winced in pain. He reached in his pocket, and found a small bottle of vodka He looked at it for a minute before putting it back in his pocket.
His head was throbbing. "Where am I?" he thought to himself once more.
Suddenly reality hit him. He ran through the dense bamboo jungle, and passed a single brand new white tennis shoe hanging on a tree by a lace.
He kept running until he reached a white and sandy beach. He looked to his right, nothing. And as he turned his gaze to the other side of this beach he saw the complete horror.
He saw the wreckage and bloodied screams from the survivors.
He knew that his flight, Oceanic 815, had crashed.
As he ran threw the wreckage and debris, he saw many faces in fear and pain. He saw on person in particular, with blonde hair and gray drab clothing, standing extremely close to one of the still functioning engines. He turned to see an Asian man crying out in some foreign language. What it was, he did not know. He saw an african american man running yelling, "Will! Will!"
Another man was yelling at another to "stay away from the gas." Nearby a blonde woman was just standing there screaming.
The man heard someone closeby yelping for help. He looked down and saw a man pinned on the ground by metal debris and the remnants of the once intact wheel.
"OW! my leg," the pinned man yelled out.
He tried to move the metal himself but it was too heavy. He looked around and saw two people.
"Hey you, give me a hand over here," the man yelled, "You too, help me out,"
"On the count of three we`re going to lift it and pull him out. One... Two... Three!
As the two helpers lifted the metal the ordering man pulled him from under the wreckage. The once pinned man's leg was covered in blood. He ripped open the man's pants leg and took off his tie and wrapped it around the leg. And ordered the other two to move him away from there, and went running to a pregnant woman who was yelling for help.
When he got to her she was still yelling for help.
She looked up at him and screamed, "Please, help me. I`m having contractions!
"How many months pregnant are you?" He asked her.
"Only eight months," she replied.
"How far apart are they coming?"
"I don`t know a few just happened!"
The man looks around and sees a man trying to give a woman CPR. He looks in another direction too see the two men that help him free the pinned man carrying him away. A man is walking behind them and stops in front of the engine.
One of the two helpers turns around and yells, "Hey! GET AWAY FROM THERE!
But it is too late. The engine sucks up the man killing him, and causing the engine to explode into an enormous fireball.
The man covers the pregnant woman with his body.
Shards off red hot metal rain from the sky, causing many too duck for cover.
The man returns his attention to the pregnant woman.
"Listen to me! Look at me! You`re gonna be okay. Understand, but you can`t move. Just sit here completely still.
He looked around and saw the other man still trying to give the woman CPR.
Then he saw a large person walking by.
"Hey You! Come here! I need you to get this woman here away form the these flames and fumes. Okay. Stay with her if her contractions occur closer than three minutes, call me!"
"You gotta be kidding me," the large man says
The man looks at him and the pregnant woman and tells them, "I`ll be right back."
As the man in the suit runs to the man giving the african american woman CPR, the large man calls out, "Hey! What`s you`re name?"
The man in the suit looks back and yells, "Nigel!"
As Nigel reaches the man giving the woman CPR he yells out, "Stop! Her head`s not tilted back enough. You`re just blowing into her stomach.
"You sure? I`m a lifeguard. I`m licensed," the man replies to Nigel.
"Yeah well you need to seriously think about giving that licensee back," Nigel replies.
"Maybe we should stick a pen in her throat?" The man says.
"Yeah, good idea. You go get me a pen."
The man leaves yelling, "Does anyone have any pens?"
Nigel continues to give her CPR.
"Come On," Nigel says to himself, "Come on."
Suddenly the woman starts gasping for breath
"Alright big deep breaths," Nigel tells her.
Creak!
Nigel looks up and sees one of the intact wings starting to waver.
He looks down and sees the pregnant woman and the large man sitting right under it.
Nigel gets up and runs to them telling them to get up and run. They both help the pregnant woman get up and run.
And no sooner then they start running, the wing falls and causes another massive explosion, five tomes as large as the last one. All three of them dive for the ground.
As the blonde man walks around a huge piece of flaming metal falls just feet away from him. Realizing he almost died the blonde man holds his chest and keeps on moving... just a little bit faster than before.
Nigel and the two others get up. all three are unscathed.
He looks at the large man and tell him to stay with her.
He replies, "Dude, I`m not going anywhere.
As Nigel walks throughout the debris he sees many suffering
He feels his heart heavy at the sight of the battered fuselage
The man who had been giving the woman CPR comes up to him and says,
"I didn`t know which one would work best," as he holds out and handful of pens.
Nigel looks at him and says, "They`re all great."
Nigel walks away and starts looking through luggage and picking up a small blue box.
He then runs out into the jungle with the vodka in his hands once more. As he takes of his sports jacket he cries in pain from the rip in his flesh that was caused during the crash. His shirt is stained in blood.
He takes off his shirt and pours the vodka of his wound wincing at the sting from the alcohol
Just then a blonde woman walks through the forest right next to him
"Excuse me," he says. She looks over.
"Did you ever use a needle," he asks.
"What," she replies.
"Did you ever patch a pair of jeans?"
"I... made the drapes in my apartment."
"Perfect. Listen, do you have a sec I could use a little help here.
"With what?"
He points at his wound.
"With this. I`d do it myself, I`m a doctor I just can`t reach it."
"You want me to sew that up?"
"Just like your drapes."
"No I used a sewing machine for that."
"You can do this. Please"
"Of course."
"Thank you."
He gives her the remaining vodka.
"For your hands," he says
He gives her a blue sewing kit that he got from one of the suitcases.
"Any color choice," she asks.
He chucklingly says, "No, just plain black."
A man pulls out a cigarette, he lights it, and blows out a puff of smoke. He gets u and walks around through the debris. He turns around and flicks the cigarette away and walks to where many people have started campfires.
The pregnant woman stands in the water, The large man sorts some food, and the man who was next to the man who was sucked into the engine sits quietly on the beach. The amn with the pens tries to get a signal on his cell phone but it doesn`t work.
An Arab man who is helping to build a bonfire spots the blonde man sitting on the beach doing nothing.
"Hey You!" the Arab man says to the blonde man, "What`s your name?"
"Me? Wallabee, but you can call me Wally," Wally replies
"Wally, we need help with the fire. No one will see it if it isn`t big."
"Okay, I'm on it. What`s your name, mate?"
"Omar", Omar replies
"I`m on it, Omar"
As they walk away the African American woman whom Nigel revived sits there sobbing kissing a ring on a chain.
As the woman continues to sew up Nigel she says, "I might throw up on you."
"No, you`re doing fine." Nigel replies.
"You don`t seem afraid at all," the woman says, "I don`t undestand that."
"Well, fear`s sort of an odd thing," He said, "When I was in residency, my first solo procedure was on a 16-year-old girl. And after 13 hours I was closing her up and I... I accidentally ripped open her dural sack. It`s at the base of the spine where all the nerves come togehter. It ripped open and the nerves just spilled out, spinal fluid flowing out of her and I...
The terror was just so crazy, so real, and I knew I had to do something about it. So I made a choice. I`d let the fear in, let it take over. But only for five seconds thats all I was gonna give it. So I counted. One... Two... Three... Four... Five... and it was gone. Then I sewed her up and she was fine."
"If that had been me, I think Iwould`ve run for the door."
"No, I don`t think thats true. You`re not running now."
As Wally and Omar sat next to each other on a piece of meatl from the plane, Omar staes the obvious, "You`d think someone would`ve come by now."
Who?" Wally asks
Omar replies, "Anyone"
As a blonde woman paints her toes the man with the pens sits down next to her, and offers her a candy bar.
"As if I`m gonna start eating chocolate," the woman replies.
"Sonya, we may be here for a while," The man replies
"The plane had a black box, idiot," Sonya replies, "They know where we are, they`re comimg."
He offers her the candy again.
"I`ll eat on the rescue boat," Shanon says.
He offers it one last time.
I`ll eat on the rescue boat, Trevor," Shannon says getting frustrated.
Trevor then opens the candy and eats it himself.
The large man comes by the pregnant woman and asks her, "You hungry?"
"Yeah thanks," She replies.
He hands her a tray of food from the plane.
"Any more... you know, baby stuff?" He asks.
"No, I`m okay," She repiles.
He hands her a fork and napkin pack and says, "Well, hang in there."
"Yeah, you too," she repiles.
As he walks away he turns around and gives her an extra tray of food.
An African American man asks his son Will, "You sure you`re warm enough."
Will just nods.
The Korean couple talk to each other.
(Translation) "You must not leave my sight. You must follow me wherever I go. Do you understand?" The husband says
She nods.
(Translation) "Don`t worry about the others. We need to stay together."
She nods again.
Nigel and the woman who sewed him up stand over a man with a shard of metal stuck in his side.
"Do you think he`s gonna live," The woman asks.
"Do you know him?" Nigel asks.
"He was sitting next to me." She replies.
We must`ve been at about 40,000 feet when it happened," Nigel says holding aplane cut out from a large leaf, "We hit an air pocket and dropped maybe 200 feet. The turbulance was... I blacked out.
"I didn`t," the woman replied, "I saw the whole thing. I knew that the tail was gone, but I couldn`t look back. Then the front broke off."
"Well its not on the beach. Niether is the tail. We need to find out which way we came in."
"Why?"
"There`s a chance we might find the cockpit. If it`s intact, we might find the transceiver. Send out a signal, help the rescue party find us."
"How do you know all that?"
"I took a couple of flying lessons. Wasn`t for me."
"I saw some smoke, just through the valley. If you`re thinking about going for the cockpit, I`m going with you."
"I don`t know your name," Nigel replies. He chuckles.
"I`m Rachel"
"Nigel," replies Nigel
All of a sudden there is a loud crash and tumble. Whirring sounds and clicks can be heard. Growls and thumps.
Sonya looks over her shoulder and asks, "What was that."
Nigel, Rachel, Omar, Wally and everyone else gets up to see what is making that noise.
Wally says to Omar, "That was wierd, right?"
Will gets up. "Is that Vincent?" he asks.
His father Jordan says plainly, "That`s not Vincent."
As they look trees fall to the ground, destroyed by an unseen force.
"Did anybody see that?" The pregnant woman asks.
"Yeah," the large man replies.
The knocking sounds get louder.
Trevor gets up and runs to the others.
"Trevor!" Sonya yells.
meancing whirring sound fill the sky.
They all gather on the tree line looking for this "monster"
As the whirring dies down Wally has one thing to say.
"Terrific."
-FLASH-
Nigel looked out the window of the plane, deep in thought.
"So how's the drink?" The stewardess asked him.
"It's good," He replied, taking of his dark sunglasses.
"That wasn't a very strong reaction," She said.
"Well, it`s not a very strong drink." He said back smiling.
The stewardess puts her hand under the cart and takes out a small bottle of vodka.
"Shh," She said, "Just don`t tell anyone."
"This of course breaks some critical FAA regulations," He said cheerfully
She just smiled and walked away to continue her duties.
He then put the vodka in his pocket for later use. He then took out another one from the same pocket and poured in to his glass. He put the glass to his mouth and tilted his head back until the ice in the glass hit his face.
He winces at the burn from the alcohol as it goes down his throat. He gets up to throw his cup away when he is suddenly bumped by a fast moving Wally.
"Excuse me," Wally says
Nigel looks down at the woman sitting across the aisle from him.
"Guess he really had to go," says the woman.
Little does Nigel know that he will be saving this woman by giving her CPR in less than an hour.
"Sir excuse me!" The stewardess yells after Wally.
Suddenly the plane starts to rumble, causing many people to gasp in fright.
"DING"
A woman over the PA says "The pilot has switched on the 'fasten seatbelts' sign. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
Nigel looks over at the very nervous woman next to him. "It's normal," he says.
"Oh... I know I've just never been a very good flier," she replies, "My husband keeps reminding me that planes want to be in the air.
"Well he sounds like a very smart man."
"Be sure and tell him that when he gets back from the bathroom."
The plane jerks again, with menacing sounds and force.
"Well I'll keep you company until he does," Nigel says. She looks over at him nervously. He reassuringly says, "Don't worry. It's gonna be over...
BOOM!
The plane hits immense turbulence sending people flying out of their seats, screaming. The plane begins to loose altitude. Oxygen masks pop out from overhead.
Nigel looks over at the woman who's eyes are closed.
The horror
-End Flash-
Nigel looked out over the ocean.
"It didn't sound like an animal," a man says.
"That sound," the woman from the plane says, "I keep thinking there's something familiar about it.
"Where you from?" another woman asks.
"Bronx," the first woman replies.
"Well than monkeys. Monkey Island," Wally says
"We don't even know if we're on an island..." The large man says.
Rachel walks up to Nigel. "You ready?" she asks.
"Rachel, you showed me where the smoke was. I can get there myself."
"I'm coming."
"Well you're gonna need better shoes." *
Rachel walks up to a dead man and reluctantly takes off his hiking boots.
She looks up at a man eating an orange, the same man who helped Nigel get the pinned man out from the metal shard, and was right next to the man who got sucked up into an engine.
He smiles at her reviling an orange slice in his mouth covering his teeth.
She picks up the shoes and walks away. *
"Whatever it was, it wasn't natural," Jordan says to the small group of 6.
"Does anyone have any sun-block?" Wally asks
"Yeah, I do," Sonya replies.
The large man walks up to the small group and give a small statement. "So I was just looking inside the fuselage. It's pretty grim in there. You think we should do something about the..." He looks over and sees the young Will. "... B-O-D-Y-S?"
Wally looks around confused.
Jordan asks him, "What are you spellin' man, bodies?"
"B-O-D-I-E-S," replies Will.
"That sounds like a good idea," Omar replies.
Sonya getting frustrated says, "No, they'll deal with it when they get here."
Nigel walks up to the group of now 7.
"I'm gonna go look for the cockpit," Nigel declares, "See if we can find a transceiver to send a distress signal. Help the rescue team. You need to keep an eye on the wounded." he says looking at Trevor who nods in agreement. "If the guy in the suit wakes up, keep him calm, and don't let him remove that piece of shrapnel. Got it?"
"Got it. What about the guy with the leg? The tourniquet...?" Trevor asks.
"I stopped the bleeding. Took it off last night," Nigel responds, "He'll be fine."
"Great job," Trevor tells him.
"I'll come with. I wanna help," Wally says.
"No, I don't need any more help," Nigel says to Wally.
"No, it's cool. I don't really feel like standing still, so..."
Nigel nods his head.
"Excellent," Wally happily says.
As Rachel, Nigel, and Wally walk through the jungle, Rachel asks what's been on her mind all day.
"Can I ask you something?" Rachel asks Wally.
Wally looks up, "Me? I'd be thrilled. I've been waiting."
"Have we ever met before?" Rachel asks.
"No. That would be unlikely. I look familiar though right?"
"Yeah," Rachel responds.
"You can't quite place it?"
"No, I can't."
"Yeah, I think I know."
"You do?"
"You all, everybody"
"You all, everybody" Wally sings.
"Never heard that song?" Wally asks
"I've heard it,"Rachel replies, "I don't know what that..."
"That's us! Auto Shift! My ring. Second tour of Finland. Ya never heard of Auto Shift?" Wally asks frustrated.
"The band?" Rachel asks.
"Yeah, the band."
You were in Auto Shift?"
"I am in Auto Shift. I play bass."
"Serious?"
"Yeah. Wally. Track three. I do back up vocals."
"My friend Beth would freak."
"Give me Beth's number, I'll call. She live nearby?"
Nigel walks up to them.
"Have you ever heard of Auto Shift?" Rachel asks Nigel.
You all, everybody
Nigel shakes his head.
You all, every... body
"We gotta keep moving," Nigel tells them.
"They were good," Rachel tells Wally.
"They are good. We're still together. We're in a bit of a comeback."
Not far away the golden lab watches the three walk by.
The man who had the orange slice. looks up at the sky as thunder begins to rumble
As Nigel, Wally , and Rachel walk through the tall dense grass, it begins to rain.
"You guys is this normal? This kind of day turning into night? Wally asks, You know the-end-of-the-world type weather. Guys?
As people on the beach duck for cover the korean man pushes away a man trying to take refuge under a structure where he and his wife were already.
The large man tells Sonya and Trevor, "Stay out of the fuselage there's too many bodies!
The bald man who smiled and Rachel with the orange slice just sits in the rain smiling.
Crashing sounds come from the tree line as trees fall down from some unseen beast.
The pregnant woman looks at the tree line.
"There it is again," she says.
Oh, no!
Finally after hours of hiking, Nigel, Wally, and Rachel have reached their destination... the cockpit of Oceanic 815 propped on a tree at a 60 degree angle.
Nigel looks at the two of them, "Well lets do this."
As they enter the plane they see the bodies of the first class passengers.
Wally says, "Let's get this trans... tran..."
"Transceiver," Nigel interjects.
"Yeah that," Wally responds, "Let's get it and go.
They climb up the tilted cockpit, as if they were rock-climbing. As Nigel gets to the door he tries to open it but it won't. He picks up a fire extinguisher and hits the nob. It works. And the body of the dead co-pilot rolls out of the room nearly ramming Wally.
Nigel looks at Rachel.
"You okay?"
"Yeah," she replies, "You"
"Yeah," he responds.
"I'm fine. Wally's fine by the way. I'm okay.
As they struggle to get into the room Nigel notices Rachel's uneasiness.
"You don't have to come up here." Nigel tell Rachel.
"No, I'm good," she responds.
As they struggle the are finally able to get into the actual cockpit.
"So what does a transceiver look like?" Rachel asks.
"Like a complicated walkie-talkie," Nigel replies.
As they look around the see the body of the pilot.
Suddenly he wakes up.
"Ahh!" Rachel shrieks.
Nigel walks up to the injured man.
"Hey can you hear me?" Nigel asks, "Rachel, I need that water."
He gives it to the pilot.
"How many survived?" the pilot asks.
"At least 48," Jack replies, "Does anything feel broken?
"No. But my head's dizzy."
"It's probably a concussion." Nigel replies.
"How long has it been?" the pilot inquires.
"16 hours," Nigel says.
"Has anybody come?"
"Not yet."
The pilot looked at both of them, "Six hours into the flight, our radio went out. No one could see us. We turned back to land in Fiji. By the time we hit turbulence, we were a thousand miles off course. They're looking for us in the wrong place. ...We have a transceiver.
"Good, good," Nigel replies "Thats what we were hoping for."
"It's right there," the pilot says.
Nigel looks around,
"Where's Wally?"
Rachel turns to go look for him.
The pilot fiddles with the transceiver but it' not working.
Rachel looks at the dead bodies. "Wally?"
Suddenly the bathroom door opens. Wally's inside.
"What were you doing in the bathroom." Rachel asks.
Wally smiles and replies in his native Australian accent, "What?"
Suddenly whirring and electrical noises can be heard from outside
"What was that?" the pilot asks
All four of them huddle into the cramped space.
"It's right outside," Rachel squeals.
"What is?" the pilot asks
Nigel shhh's him.
Trees crunch under the beast. It's massive shadow appearing on the glass. It knows they're there.
They get and go to the windows and try to see it.
The pilot puts down the transceiver and sticks his head and upper torso out the cockpit. Bad idea.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
The man's scream pierce their ears
It pulls him. Drops him. Pulls him. Drops him. And eventually pulls him out and takes him away. Then blood splatters all over the windows as the monster carries off the poor pilot.
It attacks the plane causing it to fall to a normal position.
Nigel picks up the transceiver and they all run out of the plane. It chases them. It gets closer and closer. They run faster and faster. Then it happens, Wally trips and falls. The beast is there waiting.
His foot is caught on a root. "Hey!"
Nigel turns around to see Wally stuck.
He runs back to help.
Wally is cringing in shear, raw fear.
Nigel gets him loose, "Okay, run!
Rachel keeps on running until she sees a banyan tree she runs to it and takes cover under its protective roots.
She turns and sees she's alone.
She cries, she whimpers.
"N.. N... NIGEL!"
BOOM
She cries again.
Lightning blasts in the sky above.
She calms herself.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Rachel remains under the tree when howling noises begin to surround her. She is afraid
"Rachel!"
"AAHHH," Rachel shouts in terror as Wally sneaks up on her.
"AAHHH," Wally scream in fright from Rachel's shriek.
They both fall to the ground.
Rachel looks at him and yells, "Where's Nigel!"
"Did you see him?"
"I don't know."
"Yeah, He puled me up."
"Where is he?"
"I don't know!"
"How can you not know!"
"We got separated. I fell down. He came back for me. That thing was..."
"Did you see it?"
"No. No. But it was right there. We were dead... I was at least. And then Nigel came back and he pulled me up. I don't know where he is.
All of a sudden the rain stops.
"We have to go back for him," Rachel says.
"Go back? There?" Wally responds, "There's a certain gargantuan quality about this thing."
"Then don't come."
Wally lies on the ground while Rachel runs off.
"...Rachel!" Wally yells, "Wait up."
As they walk through the jungle they pass many fallen trees.
"I heard you shout," Wally says to Rachel.
"I heard you shout Nigel ," Wally says, "I'm Wally, by the way."
They both stop and look at metal pin in the mud by a murky lake. A pin with wings on it.
As they look at the pin they see a reflection in the water. A tree, with a body in it.
As they look up Wally asks, "What is...?"
"It's the pilot." Nigel responds coming out of the jungle.
Rachel walks up to the muddied Nigel.
"Did you see it?" she asks him.
"No. It was right behind me but I dove into those bushes."
"Guys?" Wally asks them looking up at the tree, "How does something like that happen?"
They all look up at least 30 feet into the air where the pilot's dead, bloodied, mutilated, and nearly unrecognizable body lies.
