Getting off this Island

I felt someone was trying to open the bonds. At first, I thought it was a dream. I was feeling dizzy. My head was spinning. I opened my eyes and then closed them. I saw someone sitting next to me on my bed. It seemed like a shadow. I thought I was dreaming, but then Stefan’s voice echoed in my ears.

“Wake up, wake up.”

I smiled. Stefan then took hold of both my hands and made me sit up. I opened my eyes and saw Stefan standing in front of me. “Today we have a good opportunity to escape; everyone is busy at the festival,” Stefan said while making me stand up. I could not stand up on my own two feet. I fell to the ground.

My legs are numb. Stefan took hold of my hands and made me stand up again. “I cannot walk,” I said with a worried voice. Stefan pulled my right hand. “Are you listening to me? If you want to escape, today is the day,” Stefan said in an angry face.
