literarymercenary asked: Is anything at the bottom of the puddle?
This thought crosses your mind, and you realize that you could easily have missed something. The bottom of the puddle could hold an escape, a magical portal, a buried treasure, or even something to get you off this island.
Sand.
Lots of sand. In fact, the puddle isn’t that big, so the fact that there’s still water in it with that much sand is very concerning to you. The sand isn’t holding up so well, either.
Alas, you reach your hand in and hope to at least find dinner for the day. A crab or something. Your hand hits something metal.
What will you do now? Dig up the metal object or something else?
