My Dear Cynthia,
I write to you in hopes that these letters will one day find their way into your hands. My ship was attacked at sea by an unknown assailant. The ship was destroyed and I am now stranded in a strange land. I washed ashore unconscious on a beach adjacent to a dense rainforest. As I awoke, strange noises pierced the cool air. I felt a chill run down my spine and I knew something was coming. Quickly, I created a makeshift hut from the dirt as shelter for the night.
Minutes seemed like hours as I waited inside with baited breathe. I heard footsteps and monstrous growls. After what seemed like days, daylight slowly creeped into the hut from a hole in the ceiling. I cautiously made an opening to look outside and I was stunned by the sight. There were several creatures, each more horrifying than the next. Some of them were on fire and groaning in agony as if scorched by the light of the rising sun.
I waited inside a while longer until the landscape was once again barren, save for a few cows that managed to survive the night. At least I won't starve here. I would do anything to be back home with you, my dear. But before I can make my way back, I must first find out where I am.
Eternally yours,
-Steve
