The Islet Mystery 8

Shiela felt she lost her mind in fear as she realized that the exploding sound came from a gun. Everything happened too fast, then she could think as the boatman jumped overboard a second after the loud sound shattered her senses. She got horrified in seeing him jump, and when she realized she was being left alone in the boat. Her mind couldn't process what she should do next until the man shouted at her.

"Jump down and save your life! That man on the shore shoots us!"

Suddenly, she couldn't understand what was happening, and without using her mind, she dived into the water and swam as fast as she could. For what seemed like eternity, she summoned all her strength, coupled with her racing heartbeats until exhaustion slowed her down. She remembered that during these times, what would surely work on her was using her mind over the body. However, no matter how much her brain had released a surge of adrenaline, her used up energy and strength gave way.
