Chapter #3Doom Island by: Hazari The sea breeze cruise a series of undulate hills of a loose mix of rocks and animal rests, the desolate landscape extends from the remote cost, where a calm ocean rise and descend with rhythmic repetition, to a range of arid mountains, literally this was the Devil’s beach.
Besides the monotone sound of the waves chocking with the cost, a horrible screeching noise come from the sky. High in the heaven a bird was flying in circles in seek of something to eat, finally after a long time the bird desist from its useless quest and return to a near sea cliff where its colony for rest.
The cost now again apparently unhabitated return to his habitual calm, what soon it’s interrupted when a voice dare to exclaim in a stealth tone: - the cost is clear, sir?
After an awkward silence other voice responds: Nobody it’s near, let’s go!
Soon two giant shells are turn up raveling two persons what without any doubt run between the rocks of that desolate desert to a strange pile . Soon the two disheveled men stand to one side of the pile and with military precision the two moves a few of small rocks, raveling a worn-out rests of a tent that was being use for protect something of the birds.
Each one of the two men take a extreme of the rotten fabric and use how an improvised pallet for moves its precious charge, 120 pounds of crab flesh.. The two shipwrecked men walk the fastest possible but the horrible terrain made extremely difficult walk, fortunately no more birds surprised them, allowing too they cruise safely the hostile desert in 20 minutes of tension.

The loose earth nearly covered all the entrance of the once a time a big hole.
