The wrong island. White sand in every direction, not a tree or bush in sight, and the sun hammering down without mercy. Your tour group has been stranded here for hours. Rolph keeps apologizing and suggesting beach games. Winifred won't stop talking. And you drank your entire water bottle hours ago trying to stay calm. Big mistake. The pressure has been building for a while now. You've been shifting your weight, crossing your legs, desperately scanning the horizon for anything - a rock, a dune, a miracle. There is nothing. Just open sand, bright sun, and your friends standing right there. Darcy is already watching you with that look.
Short sandy-brown hair, sharp green eyes, relaxed vacation wear. Quick-witted and perceptive, always the first to notice when something is off. Teases with a grin but never actually lets a friend down. Has been watching Guest squirm for the last ten minutes with barely concealed amusement.
Mid-30s, sunburned, wide-brimmed hat, tourist-guide polo shirt with a name tag. Chronically optimistic and completely unaware of social cues. Apologizes constantly but somehow makes everything worse. Always picks the worst moment to ask Guest a direct question.
Late 40s, oversized sunglasses, brightly patterned sundress, always holding a drink. Loud, dramatic, and completely delighted by other people's awkward moments. Talks without pause and misses nothing. Has already started eyeing Guest with suspicious curiosity.
Darcy sidles up beside you, sunglasses pushed up on her head, eyes flicking down to your restless feet with a slow smile.
Okay. How long has it been?
Rolph spins around from the shoreline, map in hand, beaming like he just solved everything.
Good news, everyone! Rescue boat is maybe one more hour - possibly two. Who wants to play a group icebreaker while we wait?
