Journal Survivor
February 8-13:
My name is Tim and I have a dog called Ralph we live in a old
volcano in a hide away island off Madagascar. It has lava and
craters surrounding it for miles no one has ever been to the island
and off the island besides us. We used to carve a daily journal on
the inside of the volcano but then I found out how to make paper
so we use that instead.
We walk 2 hours a day to the outskirts of the island to collect fresh
water and hunt for fish or we go inland to get beef and buffalo and
we roast them on the lava with some native plants. We also found a
large fig tree and made an over night tree-house in case a storm
occurs quickly and we can't get back to the volcano, but there's
rarely a storm but if it does rain we get about 1cm of rain, our
average temperature is about 40 degrees. We don't mind a little
rain.
In our tree-house we have a luxury beanbag and other stuff, but
only a few years ago we got dumped out of our home town of Rio
De Janeiro because we where richer and more popular than the prime
Minster and he got jealous of us so he kicked us out to this little
beauty of an island we have been here ever since and will never
leave it.
Our favourite game is called "rock ball" it's like soccer but with NFL
goals. Besides mucking around with Ralph I like to play the drums
and I even released a album called "volcano is my life". I sold 2
billion copies in 48 hours and made 23 billion dollars in that time.
I found a cool rock/lava rock shaped as a lion I tied some thin
dried up lava on it as string for a necklace. Ralph has got a lava
rock collar as well I also found a massive diamond beneath a
crater near the volcano.
I have some how managed to get power for my computers, Tv's,
lights and my mobile phone. I have also made some ink that I am
writing in right now I made it with native planets and some water
half the people in Rio De Janeiro don't have power a all so that's a
plus for me.
So that's my life I have a good adventurous, exiting life like no
other here in the "fire and water island"Ralph and I have a dream
island all the fresh flowing water and free roaming animals you
could imagine.
If you find this bottle pass this on to 14 lost rd Carine Brasilia
brazil 7890 and tell them I'm great living my dream all healthy I
would visit but I can't if I leave and the Brazilian prime minister
finds out he said he would drown me with dynamite on my back.
see you soon Tim out, Ralph out.
