These Stranded Teens Lived A Real Life 'Lord of the Flies'

Approaching the Boat

While Peter was trying to decide whether or not to stop and investigate, he noticed something more troubling...a figure swimming out toward the boat! He was nervously anticipating the interaction, but then noticed something even more nervewracking...there were 5 other figures right behind him! He was worried that he had upset some indigenous culture, but in fact, he was saving a life...

Friendly Faces

As the first and fastest figure approached the boat, Peter backed up. However, as soon as the boy broke the surface, he said "My name is Stephen. There are six of us and we reckon we’ve been here for 15 months." Suddenly it all became very clear to Peter. These weren't angry locals, they were stranded teens, and they needed his help!
