ABOUT THE FIELD

As we easily passed through the trees, we came upon a field of grass that was nothing like what else we had seen on this island. It was beautiful but in an elegant and quiet way. Each blade was nearly untouched and was perfectly even. What kept the field hidden was the lining of trees that surrounded it with the exception of a small opening. After passing through the trees, Paul, Heather, Duke, and I took a look around the field and noticed four sheep grazing in the distance. In the middle of the field was a tree with beautiful flowers on it that would keep falling off, and every time a flower fell off of the tree a new one would suddenly come in its place. We all knew that it was safe to rest. We simply all sat down from being tired at the same time. Even Duke fell to his stomach. Paul who was right beside Duke looked down to him, smiled, and began to scratch his back. He reached into his leg pocket in search for a mango to take out for Duke. He tried to surprise him with it. “Here, have a mango”, Paul said as he set it in front on him. Hearing his voice, I looked up at Paul out of curiosity to see who he was talking to. Paul fed Duke the second mango from his pocket. He did not waste any time by playing with his food. Heather did not mind Paul giving Duke the two mangos however noticing it did cause her concern. She did turn to me with a worried look. “Listen, Howard, do not get me wrong. I can still go hours without eating, but we do have to think long term. We do not know how long it will be before find more food. It is almost one-hundred degrees outside, and we have no shelter. This grass is nice, but eventually we will have to start moving again”, she explain. I took a deep breath and pushed myself up with my hands. “You’re right Heather. We can go hours without eating, but you have to remember our mission is not to find food. Our mission is to find and bring back our teammates. You are also right in saying that it’s almost one-hundred degrees outside which is why this nice grass might be the best place to rest, as for shelter, please do not worry about that I have a plan”, I answered. Heather was standing about the same time as me. She stood with both arms crossed and her head tilted. Her eyes rolled with a sort of childish gesture on her face, as though she did not appreciate the sarcasm in my response but did not take it too seriously. After hearing Heather ask what my plan was, Paul too quickly stood up to listen. I had looked at Heather. I did not expect Heather to ask what it was. However, I had it memorized it from when we first left the beach.
