Morgan, shipwrecked in paradise
This is my response to the Off-the-grid challenge Island Living by @kitnkabootle . https://i.imgur.com/q7R9N5C.png Morgan Miner is a sailor who got shipwrecked and ended up on the Key Point lot ...

Morgan notices a pile of rubbish on the volcano island and, remembering his decision to help keep it clean, swims across to clean it up. A man wearing some kind of work uniform spots him and runs towards him.

Realising that Morgan is cleaning up the rubbish and not leaving it, the man thanks him.

He introduces himself as Makoa Kealoha and explains that he works as a conservationist. He welcomes Morgan to Sulani, and tells him that if he continues helping the island's fragile ecosystem the island will find a way to pay him back.

And as if the island wanted to show its gratitude right away, Morgan spots a taro plant ready for harvest.

Although taro root is not meant to be eaten raw, he is hungry so he eats one right away. He thinks it's delicious. (This is genuinely the happy face he made right after eating the taro root!)

Another local runs over to Morgan to introduce herself. She is much paler than the rest of the islanders and, like Nalani, there is something otherwordly about her.

Her name is Kalamainu'u, and she is friendly at first, but Morgan feels unsettled when she suddenly starts making dolphin sounds and flapping her arms as if they were flippers.

He excuses himself and walks partly up the volcano, looking for more food. He is lucky again: he harvests a wild pineapple plant.

Feeling tired, he crosses the water to get to his bed under the stars.

Around his little island, colourful fish glow in the moonlight. Makoa and another conservationist swim or sail around for a while, possibly studying the ocean at night, possibly just relaxing after work.
