A young woman recollects an academic expedition camping at an uninhabited island.

SYNOPSIS:
Blotting fresh sweat beads from my forehead, takes me right back to the “red summer” of Horn Island. Initially, the idea of being immersed in endless white sandy beaches on Horn Island seemed really exciting. Comforted that for the next ten days my skin would be drenched in such a luxurious texture. I loved the refreshing and silky feeling of the sand on my bare skin as well as the clean ocean sent it embodies. Then, the very next day I felt sun burning down onto my freshly exposed skin, which resulted in pulsating red stripes alongside contrasting patches of smooth fair ivory skin. Later, that night when the breeze kicked up it felt chilly on to bare skin, like it is cold on the surface and under my sunburned it feels like I am literally radiating heat beneath the surface. To give you a visual image explain this feeling, I like a life sized Easy Bake Oven, cool on the outside and generating heat on the inside. The stinging pain that I was feeling is the actual wind hitting my blazing, blistered, red skin. These, affects were so painful for my tender skin it became unbearable, forcing me to retreat into my tent for the night. Finally, I can shield the discomfort; the wind and rain pounded my red tent until collapsed onto of my red skin.
