Stranded On an Island? Here’s What I’d Wish For
Refresh the Soul 30-Day Writing Challenge: September 21st
Prompt Day 21: You’re stranded on an island. What is one thing you wish you had? Why?
I could be practical and wish I had a working boat to escape the island, but I also don’t know the first thing about sailing.
Instead, I think I’d wish for magic: I’d want to have Mary Poppins’ bag.
Her bag would be the perfect thing to have as I could pull out of it whatever I needed. Fresh clothes, food, a circus-sized tent, etc.
I could even pull out enough firewood and matches to burn a giant S.O.S. signal so I could get rescued (after a few months of vacation, of course).
Before I pulled anything out meant to help get me off the island, I would enjoy the respite of being away from my life.
Some items I’d pull from the bag include:
- Books (at least one a day, mostly fantasy books, definitely new releases by all the indie authors I’ve been watching)
- A super-comfy lounge chair
- A fashionable, oversized sun hat (preferably teal, but white would work in a pinch)
- All. The. Sunscreen. (My complexion was not meant for being anywhere south of the north pole)
- A comfortable, one-piece bathing suit
- Pretty notebooks and blue pens (once I’m rested, I’ll probably want to start writing all those books currently living in my head)
Come to think of it, I may never want to leave this island. It’s starting to sound like a pretty great place to be…
