My first attempt at writing, to all of you anonymous singers, please be gentle.

My eye open to just a slit, the debauchery going on before me too much to handle. With my eyes closed again I wondered how much more could I take.
My name is Charles Green, Charlie to my friends; I am 36yrs old and married to Rebecca. I'm 5'7" tall and weight 150lbs. I wouldn't call me handsome; rugged would be a better term. I own Green's Turf Farm. Between new construction around the area and garden shops we are doing about 4.5mil a year. My cut after all my expenses are about 1.75mil.
Rebecca is the same age as me but in a whole different category. She stands 5'3" and weighs in at about 102lbs. Her measurements are 34c breasts 24" waist and 35" hips long brown hair to the middle of her back and perfect skin. In my mind she is the picture of perfection.
I met Rebecca Randall in our third year of college. I had gone there on a wrestling scholarship and was studying business management with a minor in horticulture. Rebecca was just going for a liberal arts degree. We were both at a frat party when we meet. I don't know what caused her to strike up a conversation, but once it started we were at it the rest of the night. The next morning we met for coffee and were an item from that point on.
I didn't have many friends at school but Becca on the other was a social butterfly. It seemed her friends tolerated me but really didn't except me, see Becca was from money like her friends and to them I was just a speck of dirt. I had learned years ago how to ignore people like that so it didn't bother me when I was accidentally not invited to one of their parties. When I would find out I would make up some excuses about an up coming test or wrestling practice. I would always tell Becca to have a good time.
In February of my senior year my parents were both killed in an auto accident. Becca went to the funeral service and stayed by my side till my grieving stopped. Being an only child every thing came to me after their passing. My parents owned 300 acres that they were raising 500 head of cattle. Because I was still in school I directed the attorney to sell off all the cattle but retain the land. When all was said and done I ended up with a house and barn, 300 acres and 2.5mil in the bank.
Becca and I married in September and I started my turf farm. It started out slowly but once it caught on it was all down hill from there. Becca didn't want to live in the country; she wanted to live in a country club as that was where all her friends lived. We bought a mid sized home close to her parents, I turned my former home into the offices and sat back to see what would be her next want.
Becca spent all day with her girlfriends and we went to one of her friends homes on the weekend. Every year when we went on vacation it would be with at least one friend's family. That brings us up to that day that this story started at. James Harrington the third had just bought a 45' cruiser and wanted to take a group of us for a week's cruise in the Gulf. It was the middle of summer and production was at its highest. I told Becca no but she persisted till I gave in. I knew the crew I had at the turf farm could handle it while we were gone so I was going cruising.
The party consisted of Me, Becca, James the Turd and three other guys and two women I didn't know. Everything was going fine until the fourth day. We received a hurricane warning but we were too far out to try and make it back to the main land so James headed us towards a small island that we hoped to find a cove to sit out the storm.
We found what looked like the perfect spot just as the storm hit. James dropped anchor and we all huddled down below. The boat rocked back and forth as the waves pounded his boat. All of a sudden the boat was slammed by a fifteen foot wave and was capsized. I grabbed Becca by the hand as water was pouring in and shoved her towards the door. We swam out from under the boat as it was going down and I pulled her towards the shore. When we got to the beach, we turned back to see just the bow above water.
James and two of the other guys were the only others to make it out. The following morning I woke and began to scout the island. When I got back they were all sitting around so I suggested we make some type of a shelter till a rescue boat found us. It was like talking to infants, there snobby up bringing had never shown what it was like to physically work for a living. I swam back out to the boat and scavenged around to find what ever I could. While I was in there I found the three bodies so I moved them into one area till I could figure out what we should do with them.
Once back on shore I took the small hand axe and began to knock down trees that were about one inch around to start the structure. Getting these lazy fucks to help was a joke, Becca helped some but I could tell I was on my own. I had taken a class on survival so I knew how to weave the trees and branches. By the end of the night I had made a room that was 20'x20', just enough to keep us out of the weather.
When I woke the next day I again swam to the boat to find any thing edible. I also drug out some of the mattresses so we wouldn't have to sleep on the ground. Still the others sat around letting me do all the work. On the fourth day I started to dig a pit, Becca asked what it was for and I told her to bury her friends so they wouldn't draw sharks into the cove. One by one I pulled them to shore and laid them in the pit, then covered them and put a marker as to where it was.
By the end of the week I had taken every thing usable from the boat. Still the lazy asses did nothing. I was starting to see them huddle and talk amongst them selves and go quiet when I was around. It had now been two weeks since Becca and I had made love so I asked her to go on a hike with me. The three guys started to grumble and I had no idea why. We made love on the far side of the island on a small secluded beach. That night was the start of the worst time of my life.
