My dear Beth,

His name is David. The man in the forest. I found his camp early this morning, and he was so shocked to see me that he collapsed to the ground crying. 

He's been here so long his beard is down to his belly and he had to build his clothes himself. David's boat crashed here same as mine, but he didn't even know about the war going on outside. Outside, that's where you are.

I'll escape, I won't be like David living all alone on this island. I'll escape as long as I still have a life to go back to.

-J
