Aw, thank you! I had a good time coming up with it. Truth be told, I didn't fully know what I'd imagined for it until I sat down and wrote it out so I'm so glad I did. Hopefully it's given you some good ideas for the missing human, if you still wanted to do that

Yeah I still choose to do it, but actually waiting for others to post first.

Mystery of the Key - a Collaborative Writing Story

"AAAAAH!?", the man asked surprised. He was a bit flabbergasted that cricket Clark expressed this kind of humor. Then he snorted to suppress a laugh. What if he was still hallucinating and other people were watching him, talking to himself and... eating leaves! The leaves were actually filling his stomach though and he wondered if the leaves were tempered with.

"These are plain old regular leaves", Clark spoke calmly yet a bit annoyed, "What if you choose to trust me from now on? I gave you water a couple of times, food and a suggestion for your name", he then winked to the man. The man sighed a bit and gave a nod to the creature. Then Clark took a few leaves for himself, put some in his mouth and started chewing on them. The height of the sun betrayed that it was lunchtime.

The large cricket seemed delighted to have his food and be around kind, yet weird company at this time of day. The man also shoved some leaved in his mouth and chewed on them as if they were a high cuisine lunch meal. He questioned himself wether he would remember his authentic name soon. The man swallowed the small leafy pieces and took a sip from his cup. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, a name like Terry doesn't sound too bad", the man then answered to cricket Clark's question. Then he mumbled in himself, making up names and combinations of them. "Alex, David, Sean, Mike, Sloan, Richard, Conrad, Lars..... I don't get a feeling with any of them. Maybe AAAAAH! fits best with me", the man laughed and looked at Clark for any reaction.

Nice follow-up post!

Mystery of the Key - a Collaborative Writing Story

... it was a large cricket that was standing on two legs. Slowly it was moving small pieces of wood like twitches and branches on top of a red coloured fire. The fire spread warmth and caused an afterglow on the large rocks which were spread around on the beach.

The man watched the cricket carefully and with disbelief. How could a cricket be this large and why had it created a large fire? How did the cricket know how to make spirals of black smoke? The man took a step back and looked to his left and right to see if anyone else was near. It would be hard to explain to anyone what the large cricket was doing.

Then he looked up at the sky and noticed that the smoke did not disappear in the sky, instead the man noticed that the smoke was forming into a pattern or image. And what he seemed to see in the smoke ....

Jack Riptor

Jack turned his head to see the cause of the big and noisy splash behind him. The high waves almost pushed Jack under water. "What in hell was that?", he thought to himself. The result of the waves were also clear, glittering water drops that surrounded Jack and decorated the ocean he floated in. The brightly lit water drops blinded Jack and he closed his eyes to enjoy the water drops that were falling on his shoulders and his back.

A few moments later Jack opened his eyes and turned around. Other people had already swam past him and few others were gaining on him. Not that this was a competition, however, Jack decided he wouldn't be the last person to reach the island they were all swimming towards to. He took a deep breath then bend forward and swam down a few metres. He saw alot of swimming feet attach to swiftly moving bodies, Jack enjoyed the view. Jack was fond of water, especially clear oceans like this one.

Then Jack started swimming forward and upwards, slowly gaining speed with each stroke. While moving his body elegantly he kept gaining speed and almost reached the surface. Once his head stuck out of the water he took a deep breath in and slowly breathed out while he kept swimming. Jack had come to a point that his body had gotten used to the salt in the water so he could use this to his advantage to swim at an even higher tempo. "Let's go", he mumbled to himself. With each stroke Jack sped up a bit more and he was curious if he would gain on anyone in front of him.

He figured he would still swim a long while and maybe gaining on the others was not his main priority. He did not qualify for the knock-out phase of the World Tournament and it was a good idea to watch his stamina instead of focusing mainly on his speed. The fact that he started his last match at the tournament with full speed was actually the reason he lost. Jack simply collapsed before landing the final blow on his opponent, because he was out of stamina and energy. Fortunately, Jack had had one of the best nights sleep of his life and seemed to have regained full strength. He was now fully focused on swimming and was eager to finish the test.
