I am a doctor. I was on a plane travling for business when my plane crashed in the Alantic Ocean. I was floating in the water when I grabed a floating object and woke up on a random island. I was confused. The island had many trees and a lot of fruit. I ate all the fruit I could and looked for a cave or rock like shelter to go in. Once i found a cave I sat down and tried to remember what had happend and what i was going to do. I tried making a fire in the cave for hours and finally succeded after I was about to give up. I fell asleep. As the days went by I tried to search the island for people. I found a few random things but other than that the islan was completely empty. Some days i would sleep and swim in the ocean. I tried to find food in the ocean by fishing with a spear i made out of a rock and stick. Weeks and months went by with no human contact. I finally began to learn to fish and catch things consistently. I became more in shape and learned what you could eat and what you couldn't be. I found a knife build in the dirt by the cave and i began to cut the trees to make a shelter. Hurricans occured and I would go to my cave for shelter waiting for the storm to finish. Finally after 40 weeks a helicopter was flying above the island and i ran out and got its attention by starting a big fire. The people finally saw me and picked me up, they took me back to my home and i was safe.
