" The man on the island was Henry and he was a wanker.
He was a sad wanker, wallowing in self-pity instead of doing a smart thing: look up!.
At the exact same time a small private plane was flying dangerously low to the island and the only sober man inside - I can tell you, that was not the pilot - was just looking at the island dreaming of owning it. He could, too.
But then Henry would have screamed and shot his flare gun and make a whole show hoping to get noticed and who knows, maybe he would have been.
But our Henry wasn't a man of action which makes his current predicament even more surprising and his waiting for his death just as predictable" [ razvanelulmarin 2 ]
