Being Marooned [Thursday, June 10]

"Hello, mateys!" Jack greeted the class cheerfully from where he sat on a fruit crate. "Today we're going to talk of foragin' on your new island, otherwise known as 'How hungry will you be before you eat a durian?'"

He held up the fruit, which smelled like shit. No, really emitted a pungent aroma. He swung his hand around at the coconuts, crabs (which were trying to escape), mangos, and papayas.

And then at the crude spears he'd fashioned. "Or you can try to catch yourself a sea turtle," he said with a laugh, "but that's high level pirating there."

Helen wasn't about to try the smelly thing, but the other fruit looked good. She looked around for something to open them with, then sighed and shifted her right hand into a sharp knife and sliced them open.

The crabs she'd be setting free back into the ocean.
