Man on an island, day 361
I sat the whole night through with the giant, he developed a fever during the night but it broke just before dawn. I hear him stirring and I instinctively reach for my knife. He opens his eyes and looks at me with bloodshot eyes then looks at the bandages on his leg and ankle. He nods then gets to his feet slowly. He takes his massive knife and hands it to me then he points off into the distance. I understand...He's heading home, wherever that may be. We shake hands, now brothers. Then without saying a word, he turns and starts walking. I stare at him till he disappears below a ridge, I wonder if we will ever meet again. Godspeed brave warrior...Now I have to get back to the crash site before those villagers decide to have another go at it!
