-- Day 18 --

Dear Diary,

I'm starting to figure out which fruits I like. The plum-looking ones are the sweetest. The mango-pineapple things are sour but filling. All of them cause the same weird hallucinations where my stomach gets big. I figured out that if I eat them slowly, I don't pass out afterwards.

The spiny ones from the far grove are amazing. They taste the best by far. They also cause the worst hallucinations. I had half of one and dreamed that my belly got so big that I was going to pop. Super weird. Good thing it's just a dream.

I'm starting to like eating the fruit. Being drunk takes the edge off the loneliness. And it helps me sleep.

-- Day 19 --

There's hope! I saw a ship pass by the island today. It was too far away to see or hear me, but if I can get out there they might notice me.

I started building a raft today. There was a tool bag in one of the suitcases with a lot of big screws in it. If I can collect enough driftwood, I should be able to make something like in the movies.

Working on the raft is tiring. The sun is so harsh out on the beach. I took all the sunscreen out of the bags and rubbed it all over my body so I don't get burned. I think it's working. It keeps the bugs away too.

I think about home more and more now. My friends. My coworkers on the cruise line. Even my horrible abusive step-mom. Maybe I'll call her when I get off this island.

-- Day 21 --

I'm starting to think the hallucinations are real.

Maybe my body is getting used to the side effects of the fruit. I don't feel like I get drunk when I eat it any more. But my belly still bloats up and gets huge. It feels funny when I touch it. It's tight and bouncy, like a yoga ball with too much air in it. And I feel tingly where my fingers touch my skin. I still can't move much when I'm bloated.

The raft is coming along, Slowly. I have to stop to eat every few hours, and after I eat, I have to rest for a few hours until I deflate. But I need the energy to work so I have to eat.

My hands are sore. So happy the first aid kit dried out. The cream and bandages are lifesavers.

I'm going to take a dip in the lake and go back to work.

-- Day 32 --

Big news today. The raft is finished!

I tried it on the water and it floats. One of the suitcases had a souvenir oar in it, so I screwed it to a stick and made a paddle. It's slow but it works.

The stars look extra pretty tonight. I feel like I'm one of those tiny specks of light in that huge ocean of a galaxy up there. Hopefully someone finds me out there in that ocean.

I'm going to go out into the water tomorrow. There's one spot on the beach where the tide pulls back in the morning. If I can catch that tide, I think I can paddle out to where I saw that ship.

The raft can't hold much so I'm going to bring all of the water bottles and the fruit. I might be floating on the ocean for a while so I'm going to eat as much as I can before I set sail. I'll probably be so bloated that I won't be able to move but that's ok. I'm not doing much moving on a raft anyway.

I'm leaving this diary on the island. It's too embarrassing to show anyone. I'll make it home and tell everyone my story instead.

Wish me luck. Good night and goodbye.

Dear Diary,

Today is the saddest day of my life. The raft is gone. The ocean took it.

I made it to the outer edge of the cove. Maybe a half-mile away from where I saw that ship. Then that storm came back. The winds were blowing so hard that it ripped the rain tarp out of my hands. Then the waves started throwing the raft around - and I couldn't hold on. I tried to swim towards the raft but I was too bloated from the fruit and I couldn't move fast enough before it floated away. It was the scariest experience of my life. I thought I was going to drown out there.

Then I washed up on the beach near my camp.

I shouldn't be sad. At least I'm alive. I'm devastated. Lucky to be alive but still devastated. I don't know what to do. I might be stuck here forever. I don't want to be stuck here. I want to go home. I want to see people again.
