Warm sand grinds against your skin as you come to, salt spray sharp in your nostrils. Fifty feet away, the plane's carcass smolders, a dark scar against the washed-out blue sky. A girl crouches beside you, her brown hair a wild tangle, eyes wide and haunted. She flinches back, color rising in her cheeks. "Sorry. I'm Sage. I'm sixteen. We crashed. We're the only ones left." Her voice is thin, frayed at the edges, waiting for you, you, to speak.
