Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 16: Going Home

(Hey my readers! I am so sorry for the long break in posts. I have been dealing with a lot in RL lately that has been keeping me from adding more. Still, I will do my best to continue this blog, for I have a lot of plans for it for the future. That is, […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 15: Discovered

I wake up the next morning to the sounds of water lapping upon the shore. For a moment, I am uncertain of where I am, but then I look down and see Michael’s arm draped over my shoulder. I then smile as the events of the night before come flooding back to me. I can […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 14: With Love

The next two days seem to just drag by. I spend most of the time trying to keep myself busy by helping collect our harvestables and catching fish from the stream. I also spend some time just sitting by the stream and staring into it quietly. It is the only bit of serenity I can […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 13: Undertow

I must have been exhausted, for by the time I wake up, the tent is empty. Both Abby and Janice have left and when I reach the fire pit, I see that Michael and Charls are gone as well. I figure the two of them must have returned to the boat to work on it. […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 12: Venturing

If I thought the waves of the ocean were a challenge, I was in for another. With nothing but the clothes on our backs, we all spend the night sleeping on the ground of the forest. And boy is it uncomfortable. It takes me forever to fall asleep, even with Michael cuddling me. I end […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 11: Marooned

(Hey my readers! I’m sorry that the chapter is a few days late! Please enjoy and next post next week!) Everything appears all in black as I lay upon a soft, but scratchy surface. I feel as though I can hear the sounds of waves lapping nearby me. Off in the distance I can hear […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 10: A Perfect Storm

With all the stress of everything, I end up not waking up until later that afternoon. It’s almost three O’ clock by the time I start making my bed and I am surprised that Janice hasn’t already come knocking on my door. Maybe she was still sleeping as well. I am proven wrong when I […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 9: Fun Surprises

That next morning, I awake to the sound of groaning coming from the room next door. I immediately register it as Janice’s voice and realize that her hangover must be kicking in. Yikes. I remain in my room reading my graduate book for the next hour, before I hear a knock on my door. […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 8: Dance It Up

When I wake up the next morning, for a moment I forget where I am. With my long flight and deep slumber, it was enough to make anyone confused upon waking. I then glance around the room and remember that I am in Janice’s sister, Sandra’s house. Checking the clock, I see it is […]

Lizzie’s Chaotic Summer: Chapter 7: Welcome to Marina Beach

I feel completely exhausted when the plane finally lands. Almost eight hours of sitting is just too long for me. The moment I exit through the front doors of the Marina Beach International Airport, I feel a wave of heat hit me hard. Not extremely hot, but definitely more than I am used to. I […]
