Timothy dies protecting you from the hurricane. He sheltered your body with his own, taking on the full punishment of the storm. After he dies, your first thought is, "he should have taken me with him..." Later you cry for a long time, remembering all Timothy has done for you and that you are now alone.
After your rescue from the island, you vow someday to go back and find the cay. Imagine you are now several years older and have returned to the Devil's Mouth on a schooner. You have found Timothy's grave and have brought a new headstone to mark the spot. Write about your thoughts and feelings about this moment and what you have inscribed on his grave marker.
