It all started a few weeks ago. You and your boyfriend were happy as could be until he started acting strangely. You noticed while together with him that he often mentioned something about how you were his life, and if you ever left him he’d hurt himself or you. When you weren’t together, he’d call to check up on you constantly or go out of his way to find where you were if you didn’t respond to his calls. Deciding to break it off was the best way to get out of it. That’s what you thought. Now, he calls constantly and even resorts to sending emails to get your attention, yet you’ve made it clear that you’re not interested anymore. Well, today you decided you’ve had enough. You go over to his house to confront him about it. The door is unlocked, so you let yourself in, but unfortunately stumble upon his “collection”. Little mementos from when you were dating had been placed on the ground as well as numerous pictures of yourself. All of this enclosed by a circle of candles. When you take a closer look at the pictures you notice how they’d all been taken from a distance and while you were running errands around town. Can you say “creepy”? No, because you’re mouth has dropped from awe at the sight of this. What do you do, now? Keep your cool and tell him to lay off or freak out and get the hell out of there?

Whilst attending a concert at the local fair, your eyes divert to a particular woman whose hips sway gently to the beat of the music. Although alone, she seems to be enjoying herself. This woman seems quite different from your usual crowd, but you decide to approach her. A top her long hair sits a flower crown and her skin is painted a light olive color. Her scent is that of mixed berries and a hint of an infamous drug known and loved by many teens alike. You two spend the day together and you notice she has a way about her; the way she carries herself in the utmost confident and care-free way. That relaxing, positive vibe she gives off refreshes your soul. Never have you ever been attracted to a person such as easy-going before this point. It’s clear by the end of the night that she is interested in you, too. You make it a habit of hanging around each other, though it’s quite unclear what your exact relationship is at this point. You’d really like to be more care-free and go-with-the-flow as she is, but it’s difficult due to your stressful, demanding career path. Now, you’re stuck in a predicament; do you live life without a care and be stress-free with her, or maintain your busy, stressful career and put her on the back burner? Maybe you’ll try to balance both ends of the spectrum.

The red tribal paint reveals him as a member of the opposing tribe. This was it, he had you on the ground and you would be dead in a moment. Yet, the man hesitates as he observes your face. In an instance he stands and walks away. After taking a minute to calm yourself, you head back to the tribe and fail to mention the event to any one belonging to your tribe; you’d never hear the end of it. As the days pass on, you become curious about the man and why he spared your life. No tribal man on this island has ever been taught to let an opposing member off so easily or at all. Sometimes you daydream of meeting him again if at least only to thank him. Of course the rules of the tribe would forbid that, but it’s ultimately your choice. You could risk the punishment and seek out this fellow, or maintain the tribe’s hatred for his kind and eventually kill him off.
