Dry Land?

Alex woke with a pounding in his head. He touched his scalp tenderly. When he pulled his hand away his fingers we're covered with blood. Stars danced in his sight as he pulled himself into a seated position.

Alex was sitting on a sandy beach. The sound of waves crashing into the shore sounded like thunder. Looking behind him a dense forrest of palm trees stood swaying in the light breeze. He saw movement further down the beach. Alex slowly stood up and made his way towards one of his companions. Rachael was leaning over Danielle's lifeless form preforming CPR.

"One, two, three," Rachael said then leaned down breathing life's breath back into her lungs.

"One, two, three," Rachael counted again as her hands compressed her chest.

Alex knelt down and tilted Danielle's head and lifted her chin as he blew a deep breath into her lungs.

"One, two, three," Rachael said as tears began to fall down her face. Alex blew another breath.

"Come on bitch, one, two, three BREATH!" she cried. Alex blew another breath.

"BREATH BITCH, one, two, three," Alex blew another breath.

"Rachael," Alex began.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" she screamed. "One, two, three." Another breath.

"PLEASE, One, two, three," Alex looked at Rachael. "BLOW!" She screamed pointing to Danielle's mouth. Alex blew another breath. He knew it was hopeless. She was gone.

"One, two, three. You can't do this to me. Please," another breath.

"One, two....." Danielle shot water out of her mouth coughing and gagging Rachael pulled her into her ample chest. "Fuck you, good damnit, don't you ever do that again," Rachael cried holding her friend.

"Where's the others?" Danielle said after their long embrace.

Rachael looked at Alex pleading in her eyes.

"We will find them," Alex stated. "I promise. We will find them." His head began to feel very heavy. Light faded from his eyes as he passed back out falling back into the soft dry sand.
