The minuscule amount of sleep Eden had managed to catch since the shipwreck would have been apparent on her face if there had been adequate light to illuminate her face. It was one thing to sleep in a hotel room, that was a familiar sort of strange.
Then there was the fact that the thirty five year old wasn't a very heavy sleeper when she did manage to fall asleep. A fact that her boss, the businessman in the bathrobe, could attest to as he'd been her alarm clock on numerous occasions. Tonight, or this morning, was one of those occasions. She wasn't sure how many of the party of survivors had been roused by the radio conversation aside from herself. She wouldn't waste concern over them. They'd cope by either falling back to sleep or finding something to occupy their own minds.
She'd taken to walking, the sand between her toes a constant and irritating companion. Her pajama pants had been rolled to the knees in an attempt to keep the sand at bay (and her clothes as clean as she could). It was a futile effort, and she knew it, but she'd go through the motions anyway.
Man, a nice hot shower sounded really good right now.
Another couple of steps, and her foot slid further than she'd expected it to. The plastic toe-piece of her right flip flop had snapped in half.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" She gave a scowl to the broken shoe as she picked it up to examine it closer in the early morning darkness.
"That's what I get for buying cheap shoes," she snapped at it. As far as she was concerned it was now responsible for everything from the shipwreck to the helicopter missing sight of them. She directed that frustration into pushing the two halves of the broken part together.
