surviving a shipwreck

initially I saw no humanoid qualities in the beast he was a throwback, not orangutan, but not man either his eyes were frighteningly dark with glowing suns in the center how could I communicate with this being? I heard a thought in my head that I knew was not mine okay, he can implant thoughts, so is he reading mine? I tried to be more careful about what I thought desperately not looking at his jagged teeth they were stained a crimson red was he a cannibal? He threw back his head and howled it was a mysteriously infectious sound I threw back my head and howled too we might not be the same species but it was kismet that we landed on the same island it had been a day since I saw another survivor from the plane a tattooed teenage boy who had run off into the jungle a few minutes later, I heard shrieks and screams I plan to stay here, I told the beast, as I built a fire. He gave me a slow smile and I wondered if I would be his dinner.
