  It's dark in your neighborhood as you walk to your bus stop. You pull down the sleeves of your hoodie and cross your arms; it's usually not this cold this time of year in the morning. But today is especially foggy. Headlights appear from time to time as you near your destination and cars zoom by well over the speed limit. You drift to the edge of the road as you have no intention of getting run over today. Even if you ended up in the hospital, the school administration would just reschedule your in school suspension for the first day you were all better.
  
  Damn, you made it through three semesters without ending up in ISS. What happened? Well, it's not that you're a well-behaved type, you're just good at not getting caught. Or so you were. Your friend Jason got this song stuck in your head the last time you two were talking online. It's this YouTube video you're pretty sure increases your chances of cancer every time you view it.
  
  By the way, is the song still stuck in your head?
  
  > Nahhh you're good now
  The song is soooooo stuck in your head, don't even fucking go there.
  
  > The Amazing Horse
  You spend four minutes untangling your headphones which chaotically shifted in your pockets into the most complicated mess of black wires conceivable. There may in fact be a God who hates you. Or it has something to do with physics, fuck if you ever cared to pay attention in that class.
  
  Then it's just a matter of loading YouTube on your phone and ... there it is, The Amazing Horse! It may be true that every time you listen to this song, you run an increased risk of getting cancerous diabetes or something of the disease sort (Ebola might not be topical anymore by the time this story catches on), but somehow it is just catchy.
  
  That's over now and the bus is here! You shamble on to it like the half awake zombie you are and nod politely at the burnt out hippie who drives the bus; after all, he's probably the least shitty staff person you deal with from the start to end of your school day.
  
  "Hey you..." the mangy haired driver says. You get the feeling he never learned your name. Now it's just a matter of deciding where to sit. There's Bipolar Alvin, an acquaintance of yours who is fun but a little rough when he's manic (and you can tell by passionate way he's singing along to Journey playing on the bus radio that he's probably manic today). In the back, your friend Lauren from geometry is sleeping. Maybe she'll wake up. Or maybe you can cuddle up to her for the thirty minute bus ride to school without her noticing.
  
  Decisions...[Themes: modern]
  
  "I'm going to be late!" exclaimed Robinson. This was a very important day for Robinson as he was off to the other side of the world to help his business secure a deal with one of the largest corporations in the world. Robinson had a 9:30 AM flight to Hong Kong from Los Angeles. He knew that if he could secure this deal, he would be a lock for a big promotion. He hurried and threw the last few things in his suitcase and ran out to his taxi. The taxi took him to LAX where his life would change forever. With a coffee and newspaper in hand, Robinson boarded Flight CX881, non-stop to Hong Kong. About half way through the flight, Robinson got a weird feeling in his stomach, a feeling of uneasiness. He went to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face, then the lights went out and Robinson blacked out.
  
  [Author's Note: This game is about a lost castaway that must survive through tough terrain, deadly animals, and other life threatening situations. Come along on this journey and see if you can make it out alive!]
  
  > The Island
  When Robinson woke up, he felt sand underneath him and smelled fire. He opened his eyes and began to come to his senses. When he began to sit up, he noticed a huge metal frame engulfed in flames and pieces of Flight CX881 everywhere. Robinson was in a state of shock as he could not believe what had happened. He sat there just looking around wondering what could have happened. Robinson had to think of what he was going to do next.
  
  > explore the Island
  Robinson gets up and decides to search the island for anything that can help him survive. His main goals are to find food, water, and shelter. Robinson knows that he cannot drink the sea water unless he boils it to remove the toxins. He starts to search throughout the jungle, finding berries and collecting wood he can make a fire or a shelter with. All of the sudden, he hears a noise.
  
  > Run
  At first sound of the animal, Robinson takes off towards the beach. When Robinson reaches the beach, he begins to set up shelter and hopes that his first night isn't all that bad. At the end of the day, Robinson found enough wood to make a small lean-to shelter and collect some coconuts for some food and something to drink. His next decision is whether to build the fire or sleep his first night without it.
  
  > Attempt Fire
  Robinson knows that this could be very time consuming and take a lot out of him, but he decides that the betterment of himself would to build a fire. He grabs some dead twigs, makes a small tinder bundle, and begins to use a fire saw method he saw on one of those survival shows on TV. After fidgeting with the sticks, he begins to smell smoke. Energized, he begins to saw even faster until he sees an ember. He quickly transitions that ember to his tinder bundle and begins to blow slowly. After a few seconds of blowing, fire appears! Robinson had succeeded!
  
  > Next Morning
  Robinson wakes up the next morning and has to decide whether to scavenge the beach or try to look in the forest again. He knows that if he goes into the forest he is putting his life at risk, but if he stays the reward is a lot lower.
  
  > scavenge the Beach
  Knowing that he may not find as much by scavenging the beach, Robinson knows that his safety is a priority and he is safer on the beach. He looks around and continues to find more of the same things: wood, berries and other small food items, and other miscellaneous items that could possibly aid in his survival. He starts to walk along the beach when all the sudden he sees movement in the ocean.
  
  > attempt to Catch Food
  Robinson makes a make shift spear and begins to head into the water. His hunger is starting to take over so he knows that if he can get a catch, this will be a huge boost for him. He starts to stalk the fish and look for the perfect opportunity to strike. He takes several stabs, but always comes up empty. Robinson's morale is dropping and is considering abandoning his current mission.
  
  > abandon Fishing
  Angered and upset, Robinson decides to quit and give up fishing. He finds a few sea cucumbers and a couple other little bottom dwellers and decides to head back to the beach.
  
  > return to Beach
  With his sea cucumbers and other findings, Robinson makes a little "stew" for dinner. His plans for Day 3 are to begin rescue. He refuels the fire and turns in for the night.
  
  > Day 3
  "Today is the day I will get rescued," exclaimed Robinson. He knew that he was done being on this island and was ready to go back to the hustle and bustle of LA. He knew that he would have to set up a visual contrast for a helicopter to see as well as some sort of smoke signal. He had to go back into the forest to get more palm fronds and sticks.
  
  > head into Forest
  Robinson heads back into the forest where he gets more palm fronds in order to create a large smoke signal. Robinson is praying that this works as he is ready for this nightmare to be over.
  
  > Back to the Beach for the Last Time
  Robinson heads to the beach and his hut for which he hopes is the last time be
  fore he is rescued. He knows he still has two challenges ahead of him though, as he still needs to create both a signal fire and a visual signal for someone if they are in an overhead view of the island.
  
  > make Signal Fire
  Robinson uses all the palm fronds he has to create a huge bundle. He then proceeds to light the fronds on fire and the smoke signal begins. It is now a waiting game to see if anyone will come to the rescue. Robinson knows that this signal will be visible from anyone whether they be on boat or in the air.
  
  > get on the Choppper
  Just as night is about to fall, Robinson starts to hear a faint noise. He shoots right up and can see the helicopter in the distance. He grabs a big palm frond and starts to jump up and down. The helicopter sees him and hovers over him. They send down a ladder and someone comes down to bring Robinson up. They welcome him with a blanket, food and water, and the feeling of safety Robinson so desperately missed over the last 3 days. He was finally safe. Congratulations! You made it out alive!
