Wonder: "Salem! Wake Boy!"
Wonder yells into Salems mind, calling out to him to get him to wake, but the whiplash from the explosion fully knocked the wind out of him.
Salem continued his plummet to the ground, his body weaving and wobbling as he descended. His clothes have burned of, and his naked body has a growing scar on from his foot to his shin.
The scar looking like a tattoo, in the form of a bird.
Wonder: "Salem!."
Once again, no reply.
Salem has moved closer to the water bound to hit at any moment and Salem is still not awake at all, his torso falling before his arms and legs, as both follow after him towards the water.
His body jolts once.
Wonder: "Salem! Wake Up!"
Wonder once again yelling from inside his head, now with a voice of concern.
Once again his body jolts. Like, he was shocked.
Wonder: "Salem your heading towards the water at great speed if this keeps up you will die."
Wonder warns an unconscious Salem.
Salem: "... five more minutes.."
Salem as if a joke says something so outrageously stupid, Wonder could almost muster the most dumbfounded look a bird, inside the mind of a teenage boy, could make.
Though, it's five minute Wonder doesn't think Salem has.
Wonder then decides to take things into his own hands.
Salem jolts once more, and then Wonder tries it. Flames flash on his back for a second, clutching his wide range before being blew away from the winds
Wonder: "Damn it."
Salem grows closer his body set to land within three more minute.
Wonder tries a second time, his flames start from the sole of Salem's foot this time. With a wider range and small radius of having to control it would be easier to stick.
The theory proves true, Salem ends up with Flames growing from the sole of his foot where the tattoo begin to the ending of the tattoo at the top of the shin. The flames stop there for a while, seemlingly to not be able to extend any further. Then it resumes, making it's way up to his knees.
Salem grows even closer, just miles away from the ocean surface, if he was awake he'd hear the sound of the waves clash and some birds as he got closer.
The fire continues traveling up Salem's body it reached his torso, making it's way up his lower stomach, as the wind blew it upward hard.
Salem's body jolted on more time.
Then his eye begin to open, just fluttering at first.
Wonder: "Salem! Wake the hell up!"
Wonder yelled in his mind as Salem had grew so close to the water that his body could make contact any second now.
Without a thought in mind, Salem feels the flames traveling up his body and forces it to envelop his entire torso.
He gets closer. The water right in front of him.
The flames get closer to his neck, but it's not fast enough.
Wonder with a forceful heat wave inside of Salem forces the flame the rest of the way up his body.
The water touches his nose, before he uses the fire to force a very short burst of air to push him up, but it's still not enough and he drops smack-dab into the water.
With a big Swoosh, the water splashes up high and the Salem falls through, as the water follows Salem to patch up the pushed away water from him.
Salem swims up to the surface of the ocean, it's light blue rays of sun guiding him on where to go.
Once Salem makes his way to the top, he lies on his back and lets the current drag him back to shore, as he lets the sun cool him on his stomach.
The current drags him towards the shore to the island. Making it easier for him to just relax.
15 MinutesLater
Salem wakes washing onto the shore, the sand scratching on his back toward his crack, as he crawls onto the shore, nude. He finds a box, a beer box to be more precise but the box isn't to big.
The shore that he washed up on is long with trees blocking direct view to him but, regardless still it make him feel weird with no clothes in the public.
So Salem grabs it and uses it to cover himself. The box opens up and turns into a cube layout that Salem uses to pull around his legs like some very bad shorts.
He crawls onto the sandy beach into shade, though he doesn't feel to worried about being sunburnt but annoyance at it's light.
He continues his crawl, making the box drag against the sand and making his palm of his hand and his knees sandy.
He fall under the shade with a plop, and slowly he falls asleep. Unbeknownst to him. Theres a crowd of people forming.
The crowd consisted of many people, all with mics and giant cameras. Yelling "Get ready." or "Today at 10:53, a burning man was sighted saving the island from certain doom."
They were all reporting the man that was not even 15 meters away.
There was more people coming as well, some just regular people that put their phone in selfie mode or on a tripod, and went straight to talking as if they all weren't about to die a few minute ago, and there first instinct is to try gaining internet fame.
They all crowd around forcing people to make there way into talking in intervals or louder in order for their own mic to be heard.
Time flies and nightfall comes, many different news vans, regular cars passed the beach trying to use the news of a burning man to save the island to gain fame one way or another.
The night sky has the moon rise just above the horizon. Many people have now left, the crowds faded.
The last person packs up. Reforming the tripod into a metal stick and holding it to his side, out of the corner of the mans small face he sees Salem, tass and turn but leaves him be thinking he's nothing more than another homeless person.
Salem finally wakes. Still feeling extremely exhausted.
He gets up, holding the box close to his body, Salem walks to the around the trees seeing a big area, with many open areas with concrete huts up to have people use as cover form the sun.
Salem continues on his walk he ends up on a parking lot that has nothing but a homeless man with a cart that have an aboundance of things but more importantly clothes and a small BBQ pit, that he's using to try and make a fire in.
The pit is a small circle one that only allows for small meats to be cooked on but right now it's being used a fire pit.
Salem looks himself up and down and decides that it's better to ask a homeless man for some clothes then to walk around naked.
We walks his back slick with falling sand and his body cools because of the water and sweat mixing with the night cold.
The homeless guy wearing a t-shirt and some broken jeans, with holes in then.
Salem: "Sorry, sir but can I get some clothes?"
Salem asks, being as polite as he can.
The homeless guy looks Salem up and down, then gets up and reaches into the collage of clothes inside the inside of his cart and gives him clothes that cover him completely.
The homeless man looks rugged with a long beard and a mean face, which at first gave Salem the wrong impression of him.
Homeless guy: "Here you go kid. Don't turn into me."
The homeless guy's voice is deep, yet there is a sentimental message that he's giving to Salem.
Salem nods. He looks around for a private place and sees the same place he left from, the darkness behind the tree line.
Salem: "Thank you, sir."
The homeless guy already laying on the ground on a box that looks different from the small, beer box that Salem uses. He waves his hand and goes on his way.
Salem goes back to the tree line to hide himself and change. The clothes that he got were a long sleeve jacket with many different colors, like this was weaved together with many different things, and joggers that have many holes.
Regardless it is better than wearing nothing so he shrugs and puts the clothes on his back, and walks back to try and thank the homeless man. The homeless guy struggles to make a fire, maybe because I took some of his warmer clothing.
Salem walks back and puts the box that he recently used in the pit, and tries his best to contain his fire as he puts his hand on the box in the pit and lights it on fire.
The guy's face astonished by what he just saw but Salem is to anxious to have any further of a conversation and walks away, a tad bit embarrassed.
20 Minutes Later
Salem had to stop by many different houses asking for some directions to his house because he had no clue on how to get home but eventually he does get there.
He enters in through the backdoor again using the same key he used before to get in. Salem walks into the house and right to the bathroom, the soles of his feet hurt, so do his legs, maybe his back... Everything hurts for him.
Eventually Salem gets into the shower and feels the cold water run on him, and he relaxes as if laying on a cooled mattress, after that he goes into his room and drops right into the mattress in his room.
Falling asleep.
