| Characters | Hilton (death); Johnny |
| Synopsis | While out fishing during a storm Johnny throws Hilton overboard and he drowns. He did this because he had been stealing money from the firm. Unfortunately the storm gets worse and Johnny has to jump overboard with a lifejacket on. Hilton has an easy time getting to shore because he just drifts but Johnny has to fight the waves all the way. Eventually they both get to shore on a very small island. Johnny is exhausted and falls asleep. While he is sleeping Hilton washes up on the shore by him. When Johnny wakes up he hates the sight of Hilton and tries to throw him into the sea but he keeps washing back up. He then burys him but he can't handle the thought of Hilton being on his beach so he digs him up, ties a rock around his neck and throws him into the ocean. Unfortunately, no one comes by to rescue Johnny and he gets very lonely. |
