Survival Scenario - vocabulary practice (intermediate)

Where are we?
The sun beat down mercilessly on the deserted island, its white sand beaches stretching out as far as the eye could see. The only sounds were the gentle lapping of the waves and the occasional cry of a seagull overhead. The lone survivor of a shipwreck, I sat on a rock, scanning the horizon for any sign of rescue. With no food or fresh water, my chances of survival were slim. I was stranded, alone and helpless, with nothing but the vast ocean surrounding me. The feeling of isolation was overwhelming, and I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever be found.
