I didn't know what to expect after having the flu. I was surprised at how well I handled it considering I hadn't caught it in over a couple of years.
"Brian if you need me I'll be in the water." Jack said making his way there.
I nodded slowly and finished up my breakfast.
Before Jack made it into the water I asked him, "Do you really think someone will come to me?"
"Of course kid, knowing you someone is out there making their way right towards us."
I looked around to see if there was anything left from Jack but nothing was on the wooden plate. Slowly I got up and changed into the last pair of clean shorts left and headed out to work on the hut. It didn't seem too far from completing. I had some of the rooftop on as well as vines that I found the other day; well actually I had Jack find them which he wasn't too happy about seeing he ran into the same mess as I did. Now the monkey was missing his whole tail.
I laughed softly and thought about what I could do to make this place better. There were wood chips all over the ground so I'd have to clean that up.
While I was doing this a jellyfish parked itself by the hut and yelled "Hey man need some help?"
I looked over the edge and saw the weirdest fish I had ever seen.
"Don't be looking at me that way man; I want to help you on this!"
"May I ask why you want to help?"
"Just being friendly that's all I guess…it's your decision though seeing it's your hut."
"Well what could you do to help?"
"Eh with one touch from my tentacles I could easily get those pieces of wood to stay together!"
"Ok just try not to sting me; I had a bad childhood when it came to you guys."
I picked him up slowly, "So what's your name?"
"The name's Suga Daddy! Glad to meet you…"
"Um Brian's the name."
I helped him against the wood carefully so he could get the wood to stick together.
He ended up doing this all day staying attached to the side while I cleaned up the place.
"There all we need to do now is finish the outside parts." I announced.
I yawned seeing as the sun was setting.
"Aye you better get to sleep man, I don't want you slacking behind!"
I agreed and set him down in a small puddle of water by the hut. I would've got in more rest that night if it hadn't been for someone's loud voice early on.
