Gusto watched the sun slowly sink below the ocean's waves, his mind wandering through distant memories.
A group of adults stared down at him in disgust. "Bastard child."
Though he had only been trapped on this island a little over a week, he was already starting to doubt that anyone would try to rescue him.
A firm hand struck his face, sending him reeling to the floor.
At least, he would have began doubting the fact if he had ever believed it to begin with.
Red lips curled in disgust. "You are beneath me."
Maybe it was better this way.
