[ WP ] [ WP ] A young couple and older man are stranded on a deserted island . The older man agreed to kill himself so as to provide nourishment for the couple and give them a chance of surviving long enough for rescue . The older man is now having second thoughts ...

4th go at writing anything. This one is a little weird. Criticism welcome and appreciated. 
 
 The older you get the less you seem to sleep. You go to bed the same time as usual and you rest soundly, but every morning you seem to wake up that little bit earlier. I do n't know exactly how early it is, but i know this is the second morning i've spent watching them sleep with jagged rock in my hand. 
 
 I offered myself up after two days in. There were less protestations then i had hoped for. A shake of the head that barely registered from him and an awkward shuffling of feet from the girl. I get the feeling that my offer to..provide for them only served to make what they were going to do anyway a little easier on their conscious. 
 
 At first I did n't even blame them for not trying to change my mind..That was before I heard their stories. See, this was supposed to be their perfect ( second ) honeymoon in India. Their first one was spent of course in Rome. Incidentally, not their first time in rome. They had spent a magical gap year backpacking across Europe, all on their parents dime. They told me stories that i would n't have believed ifthey did n't have the scars and tattoos to back them up. She got the cute little Elephant after volunteering in Thailand where she was almost kidnapped ( $ 5000 ). The long scar on his forearm? Cliff diving in Guam. 
 
 I squeezed the rock tightly in my left hand and reflected on how this was my first time on a plane. 
 
 I would soon be another story for them to tell their friends. Another adventure.. I Smashed his skull in first. The girl awoke for a second before i killed her too. she did n't have time to be afraid or scream or anything. 
 
 When i get home, maybe I'll get a tattoo on my forearm of their names to show off at parties.
