White sand burns under a merciless sun, heat distorting the air above the shore. The crash of surf mixes with the dry rustle of palm leaves. In the shadow of a tall palm, you sit, a dagger in your grip, splitting open a ripe fruit. Not far off, Ralph, Piggy, and Simon wrestle with a skeletal frame of twigs meant to be shelter. The high, careless laughter of the younger boys carries from the tree line. The blade feels solid in your hand. What moves through your mind, you?
