If You Were Stuck On A Desert Island…

There is one banana left, and it’s sitting in the centre of the long, oddly-angled rock we’re using as a table.

Daniel caught the bananas, so he kind of figures that he should have it.

Christine says that, because she’s a girl, she should have priority.

Lu thinks we should split it in equal parts and all have a bit.

Brian and Daniel go to fists over it, because Brian thinks he’s worked just as hard as Daniel at finding stuff. Christine shouts. Lu looks nervous.

I eat the banana while they’re distracted.

We’ve only been here for three hours.
