You may be wondering exactly what my next big challenge is going to be. It definitely won't be looking for food, building my hut won't take too much longer with the help of the vines, and it certainly isn't washing my clothes. Instead I have to deal with the fact that I'm alone. (Hey I know I'm a tough guy, but I still have emotions too!) I didn't expect anyone else on the island for at least another week, given that that's typical on a real life reality show.
This was no reality show, and things that would get it cancelled could happen at any time in mine. In my mind I could see myself getting eaten alive by some alligator or cursing up a storm? That's the kind of things I'm talking about that would get it cancelled. If this had been aired on TV it would've been terminated by the FCC weeks ago! Not only was there no cameras around, there was certainly no director. (Steven Spielberg I praise you and all, but it wouldn't have worked out like you hoped it would) Back to the story, my weakness of not having another person around was slowly making its presence known. No I wasn't going to resort to inanimate objects; I figured I could build another person from wood…nah it's not worth it. Besides I wouldn't want someone to think I had already given up hope of ever getting off this island.
