A weekend away from the island

So I have been banished from the island for the weekend, and I am strangely fine...

The Newcomer has met with the Bwana and they are off discussing the new infrastructure projects under way.

I think, frankly, it's the beer talking, but I am fine.

I sit here in a cafe I've never frequented, slightly numb and buzzy, and wondering whether they're plotting bull-dozing my house. Is the Newcomer to be the new keeper of the Glade?

Yup, I'm drunk, 'cause I don't feel panicked at all.

I just can't help but feel that if I keep doing my jobs and working hard, the Bwana won't have any option but to see my worth and dismiss the Newcomer.

It can't help but work, right?
