Paradise Adrift

Paradise Adrift: For those creatures that would likely never be solvent enough to afford a stay on this resort island, the word 'paradise' might be their informal description of and about it. Although it is pretty-much just a small island with the size of about seven miles in every north, east, south, and west direction, those individuals who could afford a stay on the island in the past had commanded all occurring activity throughout it and which took place on it for some many vacationing and visiting decades; and those preferences had an active role from dawn till night and from early feast to dance all night. But now the paid servitude inhabitants have predominate control and say on the island, which is a big comeback while they are also considered to be the long term natives of the island. Just how this progressed scenario came about is confusing in and of itself. No one on the island seems to be certain, but talk on the island has it that it's a matter of global warming along with the awareness that record recorded temperatures have occurred; while other talk on the island has it that the ancient but ancestral-described other side of the environment has taken hold, shape and reappeared again. What is evident though, in terms of appearance, is that a huge iceberg out of nowhere has shown up; but more confusing and striking is that the island that all of the inhabitants are on clearly seems to drifting away from the iceberg, instead of the iceberg drifting away from the island; as the momentum motion of that drift can be felt as well. The island seems to have broken off and away from the semi-base which it had belonged to as that which had kept it generally stationed in one general area. Many of the visiting vacationing inhabitants on the island, can't seem to get around having to consider that sea levels have risen so incredibly high while they find keeping themselves from entertaining such a thought as quite a challenge. The reason for that stress is because, neither radios nor telephones are working and when they do appear to be working somewhat, all evidence is at best garbled but to then only stop altogether. While the native inhabitants stress that they are all going to meet some native ancient deity that is on the side of the environment that they are now all presently on. As obviously the waves are very peaked and choppy, so there may actually be something that the waves are being banked, bumped and conflicted against like a mountainous peak; or maybe that indicates that the island is far away from such a dock. For the vacationers, in this experience though, if not perhaps just circumstance superimposed, the seemingly eerie and lonely silence is felt to be the most discomforting, while noticing also that the island has drifted farther away from the iceberg within making its trek to maybe nowhere.
