Richard could see the ship in front of but but he could also feel the ground losing density. Everyone was running towards the ship but that was becoming harder to do as the island began to disappear. The cold air was burning his lungs. The smell of salt water was getting stronger. Richard knew that despite not being the captain he needed to take charge to get the rest of the crew back home even if that ment he would not be going with them.

“What are you doing we need to keep running?” Roger yelled as he looked back and saw that Richard had stopped.

“No this is the end of my adventure you need to get everybody back home. I will buy you the time you need to escape.” Richard said calmly and headed in the opposite direction. He reached into his pocket as he went and pulled out a stone he had found on there time here. He would not make it home but the surviving members of the crew would.
