Chapter 1: A drift off

Cody woke with a start, his heart pounding. The familiar surroundings of his small apartment had faded, replaced by an endless expanse of ocean. Disoriented, he sat up, the salty breeze ruffling his hair. How had he ended up here, alone on a wooden raft, drifting aimlessly across the vast, choppy waters?

Memories slowly trickled back - the fire that had consumed his home, the panicked escape, and then... nothing. Cody's parents, his only family, had perished in the blaze, leaving him utterly alone in the world. Blinking back tears, he scanned the horizon, desperately searching for any sign of land or another human being.

As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Cody's thirst and hunger grew more acute. He rummaged through the meager supplies on the raft - a few cans of food, a tattered tarp, and a small container of fresh water. Rationing carefully, he knew he had to make these resources last as long as possible.

Carefully beaching the raft, Cody stepped onto the shore, his legs shaking from the ordeal. He paused, taking in his surroundings - the vibrant green foliage, the soothing sounds of the waves, and the pleasant, warm breeze. For the first time in weeks, he felt a glimmer of hope.

Cody ventured deeper into the island, his senses heightened as he explored the unfamiliar terrain. The forest floor was carpeted with ferns and moss, and the canopy above was alive with the chatter of exotic birds. As he navigated the winding paths, he stumbled upon a hidden trail that led him to a secluded clearing.

In the center of the clearing stood a magnificent tree, its branches spreading wide and its trunk gnarled and ancient. Beneath the tree, Cody discovered a small, dilapidated cabin, its weathered wood and sagging roof hinting at a long-forgotten history.

Cautiously, Cody approached the cabin, his curiosity piqued. As he stepped inside, he was struck by the warmth and comfort of the space, despite its neglected appearance. Shelves lined the walls, filled with old books and trinkets, and a well-worn sofa sat in the corner, beckoning him to rest.
