BEYOND NOWHERE: Chapters 10-12


Day A32: 1st Attempt to escape
As the days turned into weeks, he would try to repair his car, and build a radio to contact the outside world. He later found the natives had their own radio. The range of those radios only allowed him to contact locals on the other side of the island. The radio heads of the island decided they would try and help him contact the outside world so that he may get back.


As more weeks went by, he had nothing to do but wait to hear back from the radio heads once they received contact. They told him they were busy though, and that he should check back on a weekly basis. Every now and then they would come back with a small message from the outside world, but it was never clear communication. He received contact but in most instances the transmission would be lost in a matter of minutes. Worst of all, if the language from the outside world was a foreign language, he wasn’t able to communicate. It proved even more difficult to overcome other local communication.
 
For not every native on the island shared his plight. The natives had their own lives to attend to.


Day A125: Mingle

He tried to mingle with the natives, but found it increasingly difficult to reach any connection or amount of depth. He wasn’t used to their language or their way of life.
They did not know anything about the driving or understand why anyone would want to escape this island. Most of all they were curious as to how he landed there. To them a car couldn’t carry you to their island. He pondered this for not even he knew how the car landed on the island. Again, he doesn’t know their language therefore this is just what he assumes by observing their gestures.
