left me to rot. Curse the lot of them, all I wanted was for this god
forsaken captain to be food for the fishes, since he wouldn't feed the
crew. They turned on me, I took the bait like the fool I am.

-The sun is biting my skin, I'm drinking salt water, it's doing me no good. My wounds festered, I'm becoming a feast for worms.

-
Ran out of food 9 days ago now. I'm going insane, I can feel it. I saw
an albatros, hanging motionless upon the air. My eyesight is slowly
fading, I can barely see what I'm writing right now.

Recovered excerpts from the marooned sailor's journal


Alright folks, here's my entry for the contest, haven't skinned in a while but I felt like it this time, hope you like it.

[spoiler="But what does "Marooned" mean?"]Marooning is the intentional act of abandoning someone in an uninhabited area, such as a desert island.
The practice was a penalty for crewmen, or for captains at the hands of a crew in cases of mutiny.
He would be given some food, a container of water, and a loaded pistol so he could commit suicide if he desired.
