The Story

Kyle said he was trying to decide the level of violence we could handle. We said, "Oh, lots of violence! And suspense and action and adventure of course. Oh and romance..."
So he launched into a story of three friends named Dan, Melinda and Steve, in a small plane headed for a vacation somewhere in the south pacific (I think), when the gages (sp?) of the plane went out. And it was night. And foggy. So they couldn't see anything, until it was too late. Plane crashed on a sandy beach, tearing off wings on its way and erupting into a ball of fire. Luckily, the three were alive. They climbed out of the wreck and in a daze wandered around looking for something to build a fire because they were cold. Which was weird. During the rest of the night, they heard strange sniffing and scratching noises that kept them all wide awake. In the morning, they found large paw prints around the perimeter of the light cast by the fire. The picked up pieces of the plane and moved the fire closer to the plane. Melinda went to pick up a wing that was partially in the thick jungle at the edge of the beach. As she grabbed hold of it to pull it out, it pulled back. She tried again, and it pulled back again. And then it jerked out of her hands and was swept away into the jungle. She ran back screaming to the guys and told them that the wing was gone. Creepy.
They were hungry so the decided to go wading in the shallows to look for clams and such. The were fishing around in about knee-deep slightly murky water, when Steve said, "Something touched me!" They wondered what it was, but kept looking around. Then he said, "Something touched me again." They were starting to get a little nervous when Melinda said, "Something touched me too!" They didn't stay long after that, but splashed to shore quickly. When the got back to the plane, Steve glanced down at his leg, because he felt pain and saw that what felt like a burn was quickly becoming a gaping wound. They quickly ripped his shirt into strips and bound up his wound. Here Kyle suggested, "I might add that Melinda was holding holding Steve's hand the whole time." We all erupted in sighs of contentment.
They eventually decided that they really needed food and despite the dangers of both the sea and the jungle, they decided they would go into the jungle rather than get attacked by acid eels or something. So Dan and Melinda started off into the jungle armed with spears from young saplings they had stripped. Steve waited in the plane with his spear. After a while he looked up into the gloom because of the fog, and saw two red eyes staring at him...
