Lost in my own world, and still being a victim of life's unfairness and it's very unique ability to screw someone over, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Safe to say I jumped even higher than a cat that had it's tail set on fire.

There was hardly people left alive in the archipelago, and those that are….tend to keep away from each other.
