=//__ Despond and Hope __//= **By Calvin Ma** == = = =**Chapter 1:Unexpected**=

//Finally, a huge explosion interrupted his thinking and the whole sky was rendered in blood-red//

 * Christmas was approaching, and all the streets and avenues in NewYork city were filled with the new year atmosphere. Calvin and Demi walked out from the Empire State Building. Without the pressure of work, their faces beaming with smiles. More importantly, they planed to go to Feji island with Michelle and Brendan on vacation tomorrow. While Calvin is still immersed deeply in the atmosphere of christmas, his cellphone rang**.


 * 'Hi, Calvin, it is me! it is me! Brendan. I just want to remind you do not miss the aircraft at 8:00am tomorrow, besides, tell Demi do not forget to bring the SLR camera. This is it. Buddy. Have a nice dream tonight, see you.'**


 * 'It is Brendan, isn't it?'Demi asked excitedly.**


 * 'yep, that guy is so excited and asked you to bring your camera.'**


 * 'No problem. And see you tomorrow morning, I am going to purchase new sunglasses.' Demi says waving to say goodbye.**
 * The airport is very noisy and crowded in the early morning due to the holiday. The black clouds concentrated into a dense mass, and the airport was wrapped in a thin mist, overcasting for rain.**


 * 'It is chilly today, and i can' t stop shivering from the cold.' Michelle grumbled.**


 * Unexpectedly, Demi falls asleep quickly after she got into the airplane. The aircraft flew through the dense clouds, and every now and then fleecy clouds floated across the sky. Suddenly, Demi awakened horribly from a dream flurriedly and scared to death said,'That was really a nightmare, I dreamed...dreamed of a plane crash.'**


 * 'Oh my goodness, please, please say something auspicious.' Calvin said alarmedly.**


 * When Calvin's voice faded for a second, the aircraft shook violently and afterward the powerful airflow was dead against people. Immediately, the fight attendants asked passengers to remove the oxygen mask over their head and put on the lifejacket under their seats. Michelle screamed curdled and squealed just like a person who has panic disorder. At that time, Brendan saw the aircraft's engine through the window from which emerged a burst of black smoke uncounsciously. He know their life would reach the finish line this time. He seemed to hear the countdown of his life, and the footsteps of Death getting closer. Finally, a huge explosion interrupted his thinking and the whole sky was rendered in blood-red. After the crash, debris from the plane was scattered over the Pacific Ocean. Fortunately, Demi Calvin and Michelle bailed at before the plane crashed. As consequence, they floated on the ocean. However, worryingly, they have not say Brendan yet.**


 * 'Brendan, can you hear me? Brendan, hey Brendan! Where are you? Demi and Michelle yelled and cried. They felt anxious and even could see tears in their eyes. Since they felt exhausted and be injured. They were too weak to shot and had no energy. Eventually, conk slowly, just floating in the ocean.**

=Chapter 2:Approach Death=

//One foot steps on Calvin slipped, almost fall off a steep cliff, be about to lose him//

 * No one knows exactly how long it took, Calvin choked by the seawater and when he awoke from something between sleep and swooning, the grey of the morning had begun to expunge the place of night. He stood up staggeringly and then cleaned his dryish throat, felt there was a frog in his throat. And his face was maked with grief. Then he looked around carefully, finding that they were washed up on the beach. The sky was full of a grey dawn light but the sun had not yet risen. Water and air were pallid.**


 * Calvin had begun to get nervous and anxious, since he had not seen his friends yet Demi, Michelle and Brendan. He ran along the beach and bellowed, 'Demi! Michelle! Brendan! Where are you? Can you hear me? Hey, hey, is anyone here?' Hopelessly and desperately cried and shouted over and over again.**


 * Suddenly, he noticed dimly the figures of two person lying on the beach nearby. Athrill, he ran toward them, yelling,'Thank God, there you are!'**


 * 'Wake up! Wake up! Demi! Michelle! Please, what's wrong with you?' Calvin cried, shaking up forcedly.**


 * Slowly, Demi and Michelle's eyes opened, their heads moved, and they looked at Calvin, then took a deep breath.**


 * 'Could you tell me where we are? And what happened?' Demi implored infirmly.**


 * 'I don't know, we may be rushed up to this uninhabited island,' Calvin remarked.'Don't you remember that we just experienced an aircraft crash, however, fortunately, we survived.' Calvin raised them up while explaining.**


 * 'Brendan! Oh my God-heaven! We must lost him.' Michelle yelled immediately.**


 * 'No, we would not! He must be alive! Let us go find him,' Calvin argned stoutly.**


 * As a result, these there guys searched along the beach and called his name. Gradually, the sun rose slowly, a gull flew by, above the spruces. It breast was rosy with the light of the risen sun. The day was, after all to be fair. Later, they stood above the tide near the small pool. From the base of the steep wall of rock on which they stood, a moss covered ledge jutted seaward into deep water. As they searched, a dark figure was emerging out of the shadows, Demi yanked the Calvin's shirt and said scrupulously.'Monster, i saw a monster was there!'**


 * Without any weapons on their hands, they were scared. Unexpectedly, that dark shadow came towards them.'Hey, that is not a monster, that is Brendan,' said Michelle jeering,'Brendan, I am sure it is Brendan!'**


 * Michelle ran over and gave him a huge hug. Brendan was surprised to see us.'I thought i am alone here, and going to be the protagonist in CastawayChuck Noland. May stay here alone for a whole life. We all alive, thank God!'**


 * And they hold each other tightly together. In the surge at the rim of the ledge the dark fronds of oarweeds swaged smooth and gleaming as leather. At that time, several sea-gulls flew across the sky, gathering together and shooting hopefully.**


 * 'I just got some coconuts in that forest nearby, and we need to remember that nothing could be done without food,' said Brendan emphatically.**


 * When they saw the coconuts just right in front of their eyes but had no way to open them, they felt despaired. At that time, Demi ran back to the beach and unpacked some packages that rushed up from the seawater, hoping find some useful stuff. With fortune, she found a knife, a whistle, much of tarp and a piece of rope.**


 * After drinking enough, they divided the work, Demi and Brendan to build a shelter and Calvin and Michelle to find more food.**


 * 'You hold that knife and hunt for meat, I will walk behind you,' Michelle said terrifyingly.**


 * 'All right, you are responsible for observation.' Calvin said.**


 * Voice faded, one foot steps on Calvin slipped, almost fall off a step cliff, be about to lose him. Michelle even could not move, as if forced by a devil, she tried out in dismay and grief.**


 * All the birds flew off the tree immediately, just as someone pointed his gun at them.**

=**Chapter 3: Accident**=

//We made it. A field of burning trees are billowing thick black clouds of smoke into the sky//

 * The wet air forms clouds, which hang over the tree tops like smoke. As Michelle walked through the forest, she could feel the warm moist air on her face, but that made her uncomfortable and anxious, just like someone covered her mouth and she could not breath. Michelle did not give up chanting his name, and the echo of her shout rebounded off the surrounding moutains.**


 * 'I am here, help! help me!' A weeping sound reverberated in the entire forest.**


 * 'Calvin, i saw you. Just stay here, I'll get you out of here.' Michelle shouted agitated.**


 * She saw Calvin's leg was stuck in the branch of three, and hardly able to move. Immediately, Michelle ran back to the beach, taking out a length of rope that Demi found out in packages. Then, she back to the step cliff quickly. She hitched one end of the rope around the palm tree, and the other one Calvin hitched it around his waist. At this time, hearing the cry for help, Demi and Brendan were running to their side, Through pulling the rope, they coordinated their efforts to get Calvin out of the crack. Unfortunately, his shank was torn slightly by the sharp twig of the palm tree, his feet in the blood.**


 * Demi was actually scared and startled, being afraid to see bleeding. She screamed and yelled,' Oh, no! I have halo of blood! I can't stand it!'**


 * Trying to stop that complaining, Brendan was binding the wound up by cutting up the tarp. By now, Demi was quiet.**


 * The daylight sank deeper and deeper into the darkness gradually, and the widowed beach. However, the endless ocean was glistening under the moonlight. For those people, that was definitely not a perfect time to enjoy it, since the shelter has not been built.**


 * 'Demi, pass me that stub please,' Brendan bowed his head and said, focusing on his work.**


 * 'Hey, guys! Apart from solving this living problem, we also need to think how to be rescued! We can not stay on this desolate island for many years. I don't want to be Chuck Noland,' Michelle sighed.**


 * 'I know, but do you know how? We have no fire no cellphone, no GPS; just like we return to the primitive society, we can do nothing but wait here,' Brendan argued.**


 * Calvin stand up on one leg claimed,' No, Michelle is right, we have to come up with some ideas to help us get out of here as soon as possible. And the media outside may already reported the air crash, so the government must send rescuers to search by helicopter. Because of that, it is urgent for us to be noticed by rescuers.**


 * 'Alright, good idea! So, let me think if there are some good way to overcome that challenge. Just let me think,' Brendan remarked confidently.**


 * By the time, they sat against the shelter falling asleep gradually, like seawater in the moonlight, the quiet space but waves beat the white send beach and rocks listening to a lengthy wind in the dream is rare to enjoy.**


 * After midnight, they will welcome the wonder that the first weak sunshine from east in the morning meets with the sunset that is sinking gradually. Calvin and Brendan were awakened by the first wisp of sunshine, and that warm light just like Monna Lisa's smile, bright and pleasant.**


 * 'I got it! I got it! The sun is going to do us a fever!' Brendan proposed rejoicingly,'Calvin, wake the girls up, and tell Michelle i need her glasses right now.'**


 * Michelle took off her presbyopia lenses and handled them to Brendan. Brendan is going to focus sunshine by presbyopia and make a fire. To be specific, he wanted to set fire to palm trees as a signal to show those rescuers.**


 * 'Calvin, hold your knife, and prepare to hunt for meat. For I conclude that the wild boar will appear after i set on fire.' Suddenly, it quickly burst into flames under the lenses. And the small flames stirred at the bole of a palm tree and crawled away through leaves and brushwood, dividing and increasing.**


 * Demi and Michelle jumped with joy and yelled,' We made it ! We made it !'**


 * A field of burning trees are billowing thick black clouds of smoke into the sky.**


 * 'Rumble....Rumble....'**


 * 'Look! I heart it ! I saw it! Brendan! That is helicopter!' Demi jumped and screamed, ' Calvin, drop off the knife! We don't need food here anymore, we are rescued! Come here! Hurry up!'**


 * Calvin ran toward them, crying. He knelt to the ground and stared at the helicopter, like a baby finding his mom. There four person threw their arms around each other in fright.**


 * The helicopter was landed in a flat rock eventually, the white sand all over the sky, Painting it into yellow.**
