The Island

A detailed Summary of The Island


Slowly I rowed my canoe toward Hide Away Island, my island. The oars glided gently

over the water making ripples. If you had been standing on the shore looking at the scene,

I'm sure you would have found it very picturesque. The setting sun was reflected by the

water, and over head birds flew. I didn't take the time to enjoy the beauty though,

because I know with each stroke of the oars, I got closer to my refuge.

The minute my canoe scraped the sandy ground, I let out, and tied it securely to a

branch. Grabbing my pack, I began my trek to my fort. I first built the fort when I was

ten, all by myself, but the fort was really Chad's idea.

Chad was my big brother. He's the one who really discovered Hide Away Island,

but he shared it with me. It was our secret, mom, and dad never knew about it. They still

don't know. Of course, they never did bother much with us, they're always too busy

Vacations here at Lake Everclear were suppose to bring us together, but it seems

like they just make mom, and dad fight more. Chad use to take me to Hide Away Island

so we could get away from them. Now I go alone.

As I approach the fort a sense of relief sweeps over me. I set down my gear, and


could see the ghosts of all the old puritans that were on this island hundreds of years ago.

"When Chad was 17 he started to drink a lot," I started.

used my powers to burn him from the inside out. The people ran, and we were left alone.

"I mean I love her, and I can't kill her," he answered.
