But This Is
the Role
Jayâs always
made me play.
Iâve known him
since we were eight years old.
Back home,
he was the clown.
The guy everybody knew
or wanted
to get to know.
I was his
less-interesting friend.
A quiet guy
whose name
didnât stick
in peopleâs heads.
Back then it didnât bother me.
Jay pushed me out
into the world.
And I kept him
grounded.
We were in perfect balance.
Until we were stranded
on this island.
Iâve Been Working
on getting us rescued.
Jay thinks
all we have to do
is wait.
Heâs convinced
that rescuers will be
on their way any day.
Theyâre probably just trying
to pinpoint our exact location, he says.
Donât worry so much, man!
I wish I could believe that.
But when I think about
The Vanishing Place,
Iâm afraid to wait.
We have to
keep ourselves
active.
We have to stay
in control.
My first plan
was to write
S.O.S.
in the sand.
I convinced the others
to help me
carry big rocks
from one part
of the beach
to another.
But within a day,
a strong tide came in
and covered it all in sand.
My second plan
was to build a huge bonfire
out of dried coconut husks and palm fronds.
The blaze was huge
but short-lived.
The dry husks burned too quickly
and the smoke trail disappeared.
Sometimes it almost feels
like the island
is sabotaging my work.
But I canât start
to think that way.
Or I will lose my mind.
