Rock Island - Chapter Two

The huts (three of them: one for you, the Captain and Roy, one for Cinnamon and Ann Marie, and one for the married couple) have been built and all supplies have been scavenged from the wreckage. Roy built other solar-powered items, including a refrigerator/cooler in which to store the fish, ceiling fans (made with palm fronds; quite cooling, actually), and a vacuum cleaner (just because he was bored).

One day, while fishing with Ann Marie, you learn she played bass in a classic rock cover band and rode a Harley Low Rider on weekends (and you thought midwest farm girls were shy and wore pigtails and red checkered shirts). Just the mention of John Entwistle, Jack Bruce or Geezer Butler sends her into a rock monologue that makes you weak in the knees. You mentally check the songs on your MP3 player... The Who? Check. Cream? Check. Black Sabbath? Yeah, you have that covered.
