**Mystery Island**
In the summer of 2024, four lifelong friends—Alex, Mia, Jake, and Emma—set out on an adventure that would change their lives forever. Growing up in the coastal town of Seaview, they had always been curious about the uncharted island visible from their favorite beach. Locals whispered about the island’s mysterious past, but no one dared to explore it.
One sunny morning, equipped with camping gear, a drone, and boundless curiosity, the friends rented a small boat and headed towards the enigmatic island. As they approached, the dense forest and towering cliffs of the island loomed larger, filling them with both excitement and trepidation.
### Day 1: The Discovery
Upon reaching the island, they made camp on a small sandy beach. While exploring, they discovered ancient, weathered carvings on the rocks near the shore—symbols that none of them could decipher. Jake, the tech-savvy member of the group, sent the drone up to get a lay of the land. The drone captured images of what appeared to be ruins deep within the island’s forest, further piquing their curiosity.
### Day 2: The Journey Inward
Determined to uncover the island’s secrets, the friends trekked into the dense jungle. The deeper they went, the stranger things became. They found remnants of old structures, overgrown and reclaimed by nature, and artifacts that suggested a long-lost civilization. Mia, the history enthusiast, hypothesized that the island was once home to an advanced society that had mysteriously vanished.
### Day 3: The Encounter
As night fell, the friends sat around their campfire, sharing theories and marveling at their discoveries. Suddenly, they heard rustling in the bushes. Out stepped an old man with a long beard and tattered clothes. He introduced himself as Elias, the last surviving member of the island’s original inhabitants.
Elias revealed that the island was once a utopia, protected by powerful guardians. However, a group of explorers seeking to exploit the island’s resources disrupted the balance, leading to the civilization’s downfall. The guardians, in their final act, concealed the island from the world, allowing only those with pure intentions to find it.
### Day 4: The Secret Chamber
Guided by Elias, the friends ventured deeper into the forest to a hidden chamber beneath the ruins. Inside, they found a treasure trove of ancient texts, artifacts, and a map revealing the island’s secrets. The chamber also contained a mystical stone, believed to be the source of the island’s protective powers.
### The Decision
Elias explained that the stone’s power could be used to restore the island or protect it indefinitely from outsiders. Faced with a difficult decision, the friends debated whether to share their findings with the world or to keep the island’s secrets safe.
Ultimately, they chose to honor Elias and the lost civilization’s wishes. They documented their journey in a private journal, leaving out key details to protect the island’s secrets. As they sailed back to Seaview, they knew their lives were forever changed by the adventure, bound by a promise to keep the Mystery Island’s secrets safe.
Years later, as they went their separate ways, they always carried the memories of that magical summer and the hidden wonders of the island that remained untouched and mysterious to the rest of the world.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.
