I Will name the moon Dolly

I woke up inside a capsized boat. What if I get cut on a coral reef? What if I get stranded for four years like Tom Hanks? What will I do for food, water, shelter, warmth? Could I live without any company? I stared at the moon. At least I have her, I will name her Dolly. We will have conversations. I could write them down and become famous. I hope I get stranded for at least two weeks I thought. I could use the break from work. “Ahoy!” someone called from a new boat. “Need help?”
