I was shipwrecked during a voyage, and after escaping from the doomed vessel, I found myself on an uncharted island inhabited by a local tribe. A female crew member and I were captured by them. Fortunately, they didn’t plan to kill us right away. Instead, they intended to keep us for breeding. The female leader seemed to have a particular interest in me… My name is Ethan, and I’m a sailor. During a voyage, the cargo ship I was on was overturned by a storm, forcing us to abandon ship. Two lifeboats carried about a dozen survivors, drifting aimlessly at sea for days. We received no rescue, and our supplies of fresh water and food were nearly depleted. Just as despair began to set in, an island emerged on the horizon. From afar, it was clear this wasn’t a barren place; the lush vegetation suggested it had a water source. “We’re saved!” I exclaimed, reaching for the motor. “Hold on a second!” Someone held my hand back. “We should conserve the fuel; we might need it later.” I looked at the others, and they all nodded in agreement. So, to save the precious fuel, we didn’t use the motor. Instead, we gathered our remaining strength to row towards the island. Exhausted, we finally reached the beach. Just as everyone was relieved to have made it, something flew out from the dense forest near the shore with a “whoosh.” “Ah—!” A scream erupted from Nora, the female intern. Two bone spears had pierced her calf and shoulder. Before we could grasp what was happening, we heard shouting, getting closer and louder. A group of armed tribesmen emerged from the forest, hurling rocks and bone spears at us. “Run!” someone yelled. We scrambled to our feet. Several bone spears landed near me but missed. Unfortunately, the two people next to me weren’t as lucky. They were hit by the sharp bone spears and couldn’t move. “Help! Ethan, help me!” Nora cried out, but no one could spare her any attention. I was about to run too, but her plea made me pause for a second. That second was enough for a rock to hit my head, knocking me down. Soon, we were surrounded by tribesmen, who pointed their bone spears at us, snarling and jeering. A strong male tribesman approached Nora. “Please, let me go. I’ll do anything.” Nora was crying, her body trembling with fear. The tribesman grabbed her hair and pulled it back, roughly handling her. Despite the pain, Nora was too terrified to scream. The tribesman sniffed her and then shouted. Several tribesmen rushed over, tearing her clothes amid her screams, binding her to a tree branch, and carried her away like a captured animal. Nora’s life was barely spared. But the two male crew members weren’t as fortunate. The strong male tribesman made some sounds, and a dozen tribesmen repeatedly stabbed them… Seeing my colleagues brutally killed was horrifying. I knew I was next. Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from a distance. The tribesmen stopped and made way. A female tribeswoman approached. She wore a necklace of skulls and a headdress made of woven vines and bone decorations, suggesting she was the leader. I’d heard rumors about matriarchal societies in tribes with scarce females. The female tribeswoman inspected me and tugged at my clothes. Then she grabbed my lower body, making me almost faint from the pain. She then lunged at me, ripping my sailor T-shirt into strips. But my work clothes were sturdy, and I had a belt on. She couldn’t tear them open. Frustrated, she shouted at me. The male tribesmen seemed to understand, threatening me with their bone spears. I was unwilling, but seeing my dead colleagues, I knew I had to endure to survive. The female tribeswoman quickly pulled down my pants and excitedly shouted. Then, she pinned me down and bit me…
The pain was excruciating, and I was bleeding. But I was powerless and too scared to resist, letting her do as she pleased. The male tribesmen were excitedly shouting around us. After a long while, the female tribeswoman finally stood up, panting heavily. The male tribesmen tied my limbs with vine and hung me from a thick branch, carrying me into the dense forest. My two male colleagues’ bodies were tied similarly, hanging on either side of me. I was taken to a village under a waterfall deep in the forest. A bonfire burned fiercely, with a large pot above it. A nauseating stench wafted from that direction. I was taken to a cave while my colleagues’ bodies were thrown into the pot. I realized I was among a tribe of cannibals. Soon, I was thrown onto a pile of straw in the cave. I don’t know if they thought I was too weak to resist or for some other reason, but no one stayed to guard me. I immediately wriggled my body towards the cave wall. I sat up against the wall and found a sharp edge to rub the vine on my wrists against. Suddenly, shadows flickered at the entrance. A few tribesmen with spears appeared. I held my breath in fear and stopped moving. But they weren’t coming for me. After some grunts, they walked past the cave entrance. Soon, I heard heart-wrenching screams and the shouts of tribesmen from next door. It was Nora! She was right next door. The matriarchal tribe saw her as a “resource,” so they spared her life. I increased the pace of rubbing the vine. After some time, the vine finally broke. I quickly untied my legs and went to the entrance, sticking to the wall to peek outside. “Thump, thump, thump…” A series of knocks sounded, as if signaling the tribesmen, who began to move towards the sound. I quickly hid in a corner. Shadows passed by the entrance, but luckily, no one looked inside. Confirming the tribesmen were gone, I boldly went to the neighboring cave. Nora’s limbs were still tied. She lay limp on the straw pile, covered in bruises, with a pool of blood beneath her. The only relief was that the tribesmen had treated her leg and shoulder wounds to keep her alive. Hearing a noise, she thought the tribesmen were back and was about to scream. I quickly covered her mouth. “Don’t scream, it’s me!” Nora nodded, and I let go. I looked around and found a bone spear nearby. Having grown up on a farm and often fishing in the river, I could manage this weapon. I picked it up and cut the vines binding Nora. “Can you run?” Nora nodded. We cautiously left the cave. Outside, the tribesmen were dancing around the pot, seemingly performing a ritual. The female tribeswoman was leading it. This was the perfect chance to escape! “Don’t make a sound. Stay close to me!” I held the spear, leading the way, with Nora close behind. Just as we were about to leave the village, we ran into a patrolling tribesman. “Oh oh oh—!” I thrust the bone spear into his chest. But it was too late; his shout interrupted the ritual. Although we were about a hundred meters away, I felt as if the female tribeswoman instantly locked eyes with me. She smiled at me, and despite our earlier encounter, that smile seemed wickedly charming. Suddenly, the woman from the tribe emitted a piercing scream. As if on command, the tribespeople armed themselves and rushed toward me. “Run!” I grabbed Nora, who was still in shock, and sprinted into the depths of the forest. The tribespeople’s howls echoed just behind us, and bone spears and blow darts zipped past. Fortunately, the thick foliage blocked their view and their missiles, so none struck us.
