Janet came back to consciousness to the sound of the ceaseless thunderous claps of the surf against the rocks.

She opened her eyes again and looked at the sea. The rain had eased up completely but the sky was still an ominous gloomy grey. She had no idea of how long she had been there.

She was exhausted so she curled up under the shelter of some rocks and slept for some time.

She looked in the distance to the horizon and couldn’t spot a single boat or ship passing by. There was no sign of life apart from the occasional seagull diving into the reef.

Fortunately, since it had rained today, some water had collected in a shallow depression in the reef.

She lay on the reef and scooped up some water into her cupped hands. She sipped the water to try to quench her thirst.

After sipping some of it, she felt like some life had returned to her body.
