The man opens his eyes. He didn't know where he was or what his name was. He was a tall man about 6.1, and he had a blond crew cut covered in sand. His eyes were emerald green and had a confused look in them, like they were lost. His clothing was damp from the ocean. His shirt was white and pants where tan. He looked around the beach he was on, noticing every rock and tree. The beach seem to be in a crescent shape bay. He tried but he couldn't remember what happened. He obviously washed ashore, seeing his damp clothing, but where was he. The man got up and headed for the tree line leading further into this mysterious island. The trees grew thicker and turn from Palm tree to... Something strange. They seemed to be nothing he's ever seen. As he stumbled through the dens jungle, he stumbled upon a shack.

He could barely make out the writing, this is what he read, "Here lie Ca*#*in Jack Sp>r~w" this must be the resident of the house. Thought the name was the most damaged and some letters were

Once upon a time, in a thick enchanting evergreen forest, lived a young man. He was tall but scrawny and his skin was a deep chestnut from spending his life with nature. His hair was assumed brown, but it was soaked in so much filth that it could be a red or even a blonde color. It was summertime and the lad was relaxing on a hammock he built with willow tree branches.
Many ships, especially in the olden days, often grounded on the shore or shattered near the rocks close to the coast. It wasn’t unusual for survivors of the ship to seek shelter in the houses near the shore. One such traveler came knocking at the door of Loftus Hall seeking shelter. He was invited in and proved to be an interesting character that he was asked to stay for a few more days.
He was in a bathing suit, sitting in a beach chair underneath an umbrella. He had an especially sour facial demeanor, eyeing everyone around him like they were two-year-olds. Everything in this environment was completely below his level, and if it wasn't, then he was concerned it had something to do with the dark

he thought to himself. ***** His wavy brunette hair swished back and forth curling across each other as the wind danced slowly against him. His bright green eyes gave an illuminating effect over his pale skin making him look like a glowing firefly. His fair skin glowed in the dim atmosphere like an electric jelly fish gliding through the deep ocean floor. He bravely strolled side to side as he cautiously avoided the thorns that erected out the branches.

They felt the whole cabin shake then it started to move it was sliding down the hill they went to go out the door but realized it had closed and locked so they were stuck inside.
By using the third person omniscient point of view, the narrator can give us a detailed and unbiased description of his/her surroundings while still retaining part of the character's view of reality. When the narrator says "It was a wild-looking place, and there was no one there" we are given the mother's view of the boy's beach, which in her opinion is "wild looking".

Additionally, the sentence "He went out fast over the gleaming sand, over a middle region where rocks lay like discolored monsters under the surface, and then he was in the real sea - a warm sea where irregular cold currents from the deep water shocked his limbs" clearly describes the beach where the boy is swimming and how it is seen by him. With the addition of words like "discoloured monsters" and "real sea" we can tell what the boy's feeling are toward his beach which he considers scary but at the same time challenging.
Vin levered up the small wire cage he was carrying, wedged it under the sweat-rimmed pit of one arm. Smelling the B.O. wafting in through the cage's wire mesh, the creature housed inside gave a pained squeak and flopped belly-up, its pink tongue lolling out for melodramatic effect. Vin rolled his eyes and returned his gaze to the hallway ahead. These varmints were known to play dead. The first time one had pulled this on him, flopping over in its cage like a dead fish, he'd let his natural, maternal instincts roar right over his goddamned common sense and he'd actually opened the cage door.

"
Remember those rainy days when the sky had a grayish tint? Remember when the rain would fall and the sound of the pitter-patter on the roof would wake you up in the morning? Remember when the sun would come up and a rainbow would shine through the clouds? I don't.
Runners, on your mark. Get set! POW! Every race starts the same. The different teams warmed up, did their stretches, checked out the course, and then proceeded to count down the final minutes until being herded like cattle to the start line.
With a slow dawn I remembered. Had I slipped or had he hit me with something? My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth as I relived the figure advancing towards me. It was dark. The street light that shone from behind the man in the faceless thickset man in the grey hoody ensured anonymity. Now he was coming. How long had I been here? My head ached as I struggled to assess my surroundings.
