[ WP ] Only you and your mother remain on the island . Once a month you see distant lights out on the water . You are safe , she says , as long as you douse the fires at dusk . But tonight you accidentally fell asleep and now those distant lights are drawing nearer .

A thunderous roar bellowed in the night sky. The birds and rodents were sent scurrying in every direction.Mother jumped from the bed, dashing out from within the tent, landing hard on the cool sand as she smashed her left foot on an exposed rock. She nearly landed into the fire pit. A fire pit which should have not been burning. The dark empty sea was now littered with the specks of yellows lights, the air boomed with echoing shots. I peered out from within the tent, gripping tightly on the leather skin flap. 
 
 Mother turned back, eyes wide full of fear, tearing up as she screamed *'' You left the fire burning! `` * 
 
 I stood there frozen in fear, a thick bulbous lump formed in my throat. Brushing the hair from my face, I mustered out a measly *'' Yes? `` * 
 
 Mother looked horrified, she tried standing when a wave of booms sang in the night sky. The ground shook from under us, knocking us down into the sand, the waves crashed hard along the break. Retreating far back before crashing right upon us. The fire was extinguished, along with our camp and supplies, washed away in the night. The crisp ocean water claiming it. 
 
 *'' Mother! `` * I cried out as the water knocked me back, sending me crashing into the jungle, I hit my head hard upon a rock. I laid there limp, my head felt heavy, warm to the touch as my eyes went dark. 
 
 I was awoken by mother. She stood over me shaking me hard. 
 
 *'' Come on Gabriele, we need to leave now! `` * she screamed, drenched in water. 
 
 I stumbled to my feet, gripping her hand tight as we dashed into the pitch black jungle. The sounds of men screaming behind us. I never looked back.
