The island

A: Hello? Anyone there?

*dead silence*

A: Where is everyone?

*crickets chirping*

A: Oh my heck, I've been separated from my bench friends.

B: So you've noticed.

A: Why did you put me here? I thought you wanted me to enjoy.

B: Everything has a purpose, even if it means leaving your friends behind.

A: Why did you place them all in the 5th? Why am I in the 6th?

B: Don't ask me, figure it out for yourself. Besides, I did not do the floor plan of the building or the seating arrangements.

A: I'm dying of "out of place" here. And I'm surrounded by people of higher ranking positions.

B: I put you in this island for a reason. This is a place full of life. Only you are the one turning it into a deserted island.

A: First day on the job, you give me a very difficult task. You know very well that when you look up the word shy in the dictionary, you see my name under it.

B: Is that my problem?

A: I'm so lost. My only company here is my computer, and the displaced thoughts of my YM buddies.

B: Then find your way.

A: You're just going to leave me high and dry here, aren't you?

B: Of course. After all, you turned it into a deserted island. Might as well make it a real one.
