ISLAND IN THE SAND
Part X
Star and Jameson stepped carefully away from the end of the plank, slightly distancing themselves from one another. Slowly, they circled the power plant until they could see the tunnel entrance in the distance. They moved together toward the entrance without saying anything. The two boys, crouched down about twenty yards away, were stationed on each side of the tunnel entrance. The boys had arrows nocked into place, with bows drawn partially back. As Star and Jameson approached, the boys adjusted their weapons, drawing their strings fully back, letting the tips of the arrows track the pair’s progress.
I see this a little differently. Star is a strong young woman with a loving heart. She has the gift of mothering her tribe who are totally devoted to her because of her love and care for them. She knows that trust is earned and is giving Jameson and Sly’s castaways a chance to earn her trust but keeps a close watch.
Jameson knew where Star and her tribe were and went to them. I think he had been watching them with Jordan’s help. Something intrigue him about Star enough to come out of the safety he had been in. He knows more than he says but wants to know what makes Star tick.
Sly on the other hand is a ruthless bully who rules his tribe by fear. He is smart but he is weak also because he can not stand alone without his tribe.
One of Star’s biggest problems she will face is she feels feelings for Jameson that she has never experienced before.
Just my take so far.🤗
Thanks Nancy!!!!

Thanks Nancy…as always…

She is too trusting. I hope that doesn’t come back to haunt her. She needs to start asking Jordan more on how to survive and what happened to the original people that were there before her. I would think Jordan could help to contain Sly and company or at least keep them away. Endless possibilities.
thanks for the pointers Pete. You are a remarkable man…

Of course, I know you can’t answer my questions on here,but it doesn’t keep me from asking you and messing with you, Lol.
God Bless you and praying you, Mary and family have a Blessed Easter.
Nancy “Lou”
Thanks, as usual Nancy. I said one of those uncommon prayers of thanks to Him today.
For you. For sending you…

Jameson sorta surprised me… kinda, sorta, but not really…in a good way! Jordan is an enigma with feelings and since it’s too late to turn back now Nancy, our approach need only be to the matter at hand. Once the alcohol does it’s job…a stiff belt of synthetic O2 ought to speed recovery, substantially! As for Solomon James…I defer to experience! One can only presume they don’t call him Sly for nuthin! The peaks and valleys notwithstanding, anything is possible for knowing, the hills always have eyes! I appreciate this story for your art Jim, as an awesome writer… Please, carry on!
thanks Dennis. thanks for the compliments. They keep me going…

Wondering if Jordan can make food, since he made alcohol? how Jameson has survived on his own? Did Jameson talk with Jordan before? Is Jordan Jameson’s guardian?
Wow, my mind is loaded with questions. Thank you for sharing, I absolutely love this story and can’t wait to read more.
We shall see, Nancy. I can’t answer those questions on here yet and you know that….
Thanks for the asking though…
Jim
