In the midst of my seething anger, a whirlwind of emotions overwhelmed me, and I found myself compelled to raise my right fist, clenching it tightly, and shaking it upward in frustration. "Those repulsive apes, I can't believe my misfortune, they actually managed to slip away from my grasp!" I grumbled under my breath, feeling utterly defeated by their unexpected resourcefulness.

As I replayed the scene in my mind, my thoughts were filled with a begrudging acknowledgment of the cleverness displayed by those seemingly foolish monkeys. With surprising dexterity, they skillfully climbed up trees, deftly moving from one branch to another, artfully evading my relentless attempts to follow them. "I suppose they do possess some sense of intelligence, however small and seemingly insignificant," I admitted, albeit with a hint of reluctant respect.

A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I came to the painful realization that my grand plan to test my combat skills against them had completely unraveled. The disappointment was palpable, as there were numerous aspects I had hoped to put to the test, only to witness them all turn into a futile endeavor. "What an immensely frustrating setback," I muttered, trying to grapple with the weight of my failure.

The frustration within me still boiled, and I could no longer suppress my anger. "Don't let me lay eyes on you again, you disgusting apes! You hear me!" My voice reverberated with passion as I yelled with all my might, channeling my exasperation into the empty air surrounding me.

"I suppose my only remaining choice is to explore this island," I said, brushing the dirt off my white oversized shirt and sleek black sweat pants as I continued forward. "Seems like I lost more than I gained, but at least these clothes are of remarkable quality," I added, realizing how easily I could clean them with just my hand.

...

"Huh? What the?" My surprise took me aback, leaving me bewildered by the sudden turn of events. You might be wondering why my reaction was so intense. Well, it's quite simple, really. You see, as I stand here, I cannot help but contemplate the reason behind the situation that now surrounds me. Curious, aren't you? If you truly wish to know, I shall enlighten you. Brace yourself; it all started with a desperate warning that I attempted to convey, though I feared it might not be enough. "Why in the world is this island so ridiculously small? I mean, seriously, it's like it's shrunken on purpose just to mess with me! I can't believe it!" I exclaimed in frustration, my voice reaching a crescendo during that fiery outburst.

Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I continued, "Just a little while ago, I vividly remember being on the other side of the island, and now, I find myself back here again. It's baffling! And let's not even talk about time – I have no watch on me, but it felt like at least fifteen minutes passed, although honestly, it might've been longer!"

"I refuse to believe that I am stuck on this adorably tiny island, surrounded by these oh-so-brilliant monkeys and their marvelous companions, the whatnots. Oh, dear God, were you perhaps feeling a bit envious of my splendid past, and now you've chosen this amusing way to punish me? How utterly charming!" As the possibility of being stuck on this island indefinitely sinks in, my voice rises yet another notch.

"No! I refuse! No matter what it takes I will get off this island" My very first goal is formed. A stupid one maybe, but a necessary one nonetheless. "I will meet other people! I will explore the world! and I will find the answers to all my questions!" Now, that's a worthy goal.

Now that I have a set goal and the unwavering drive to accomplish it, I find myself settling down, my arms crossed in deep contemplation. My mind races with an influx of diverse ideas on how to escape this isolated island, each one vividly taking shape within the confines of my imagination.

"I could wait patiently for a boat, a ship, or any form of intelligent creature within said vessel to pass by these distant waters," the first idea dawns upon me, appearing as a reasonable course of action. However, a sense of uncertainty lingers as I ponder how long such a wait might extend.

Another thought quickly emerges, almost as if to counterbalance the previous one. "Perhaps I should embrace the idea of staying on this island for the rest of my life, adapting to a new existence amid its enchanting wilderness," I mull over this contemplation, but swiftly dismiss it, realizing that a life of seclusion is not the destiny I envision for myself.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

As if to validate my decision, I look back, and there, perched on top of a tree, I spot a mischievous monkey. "You stupid ape! You must have forgotten what I said earlier... No, wait! Come back!" I call out, yet the agile creature pays no heed to my plea, darting away with unrivaled speed before I can even rise from my sitting position.

Disappointed by the monkey's swift departure, I sigh and settle back down, a flicker of frustration mingling with determination. In this moment of introspection, I contemplate the only remaining option that now lies before me, my last hope for freedom. "I suppose I could take it upon myself to construct a boat," I ponder aloud.

The idea of building a vessel from scratch holds both intrigue and challenge, but it also sparks a newfound sense of hope within me. "I believe these trees hold the potential to become the very foundation of my escape," I murmur to myself, unsheathing my trusty sword. With a single fluid motion, I execute a precise horizontal swing, and several trees are cut cleanly above their roots. The majestic giants fall to the ground with a resounding crash, causing the very earth to tremble beneath my feet. The sudden disturbance ripples through the island, and I hear the distant howls and cries of startled animals echoing in response.

Gazing at the fallen trees, I take a deep breath, feeling a mix of exhilaration and trepidation. "While I may lack the skills of a seasoned craftsman or a master ship builder, I refuse to let that deter me from this daring endeavor," I declare resolutely. My eyes gleam with determination as I envision the magnificent work of art that this vessel will become—the key to my liberation from this isolated place.

....

After hours of relentless toil, unwavering determination, and an occasional sprinkle of magical craftsmanship, behold my creation! I've crafted my very own escape ship from whole logs, ingeniously woven together. It's a feat of engineering, born from sheer will and grit. Big enough to hold me and only me! As for any minor hiccups along the way, well, let's just say it's now a vessel of both beauty and functionality – or so I hope.

As I gently push the boat towards the shimmering waters, doubts fill my mind. "Can this piece of... well, you know what... even float?" I question myself with a hint of skepticism. But much to my surprise, the boat does float, albeit a bit unsteadily. "Hmm, it may be a floaty death wish," I chuckle nervously, still a bit unsure about my creation.

With a mix of excitement and anxiety, I muster the courage to climb aboard. Gripping a massive stick, which I've fashioned into an improvised oar, I set out on this uncertain voyage. As I paddle forward, I glance back at the island that once held me captive. "Goodbye, island," I whisper in a gesture of farewell and gratitude, acknowledging that it was also the place where my journey to freedom began.

But suddenly as if to mock me, the detestable and disgusting creatures that I had been chasing for an indeterminable amount of time suddenly gather themselves in a row along the shore of the island. To my disbelief, they seem to be lining up, almost mocking me with their organized formation. As I squint to get a better look, I notice more and more of these apes showing up, as if to demonstrate their numbers and my inability to kill them all.

My anger boils over, and with gritted teeth, I mutter, "You get to live for the rest of your repulsive lives, feel free to enjoy it." But just as I think my rage couldn't escalate any further, my eyes widen with astonishment as I see the monkey at the very front of the line display its distaste of me in the most bizarre way imaginable.

Gasping in disbelief, I manage to stammer, "T-they, t-these stupid apes." The only words that come out of my mouth are ones of shock and disbelief. "That thing, it's pointing its middle finger at me!" The audacity of their gesture leaves me dumbfounded, adding insult to injury.

With a swift and decisive motion, I firmly seize the elongated wooden stick, serving its purpose as my oar, and embark on a determined endeavor to navigate my way back to the safety of the shore. While grappling with a sense of awe and incredulity upon witnessing the apes' extraordinary capacity to communicate.

Alas, despite my unwavering efforts, the relentless and unyielding ocean currents conspire against me, as they relentlessly drag my humble vessel away from the vicinity of those mocking apes. In the face of this formidable challenge, I am left with no alternative but to raise my voice in defiance, exclaiming with unwavering resolve, "Mark my words, for I make this solemn promise to all of you—I shall return! Let it be known that you ought to heed this warning! By all that I hold dear and precious in this world, including my very life, none among you shall live to witness the embrace of old age!"
