Whoo! First time winner. I am HAPPY.
The Rules:
Every week a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and otherwise useless abilities; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder, chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use.

Voting: After the week voting shall start.

What If I win?: you choose the next scenario and list of items. Then you post it for all the world to see.

OK, the Scenario that isn't really a scenario is this: Peace and Quiet.
That's right, your character is on a quest to find complete and utter Peace and Quiet. I'll leave it open to interpretation.
You must use at least five (5) of the below items:

A toilet plunger
A printer cartridge
A skateboard
A box of adhesive medical strips
A deed to a house
A dead body
An empty champagne bottle
And finally, a gigantic novel.

Have fun Puzzling and Timing and whatnot!

Seeing that it's the last day, I've never done this before, and no one else has replied I'll give it a try... (This may be a bit cheesy..)

Ok, so you were on a boat taking a "3 hour tour" (no specific reference here) when a huge storm came about and threw the boat you were on all around.Ã,  You try to get to a lifeboat, but unfortunatly a sudden shift in the boat rams your head against the wall and you are knocked out.Ã,  You awake and unknown time later on a deserted island.Ã,  As best as you can tell you are all alone.Ã,  You see random stuff from the boat along the shoreline...

Immediatly you see a medical kit.Ã,  You grab that, but the only thing worth while are some sticky medical strips.

Walking along the shorline you see and abundant source of fruits and fresh water.Ã,  So, at least you can survive for a while on this island.Ã, 

At one point you noticed a wild boar.Ã,  MMM how you'd love some meat right.Ã,  You chase after the boar.Ã,  You lose it though because you trip over something in the sand.Ã,  After a few said curse words you notice a hand sticking out of the sand.Ã,  Must be some poor fellow from the ship you were on.Ã,  You try to dig him out, but find the sand to hard in this area.Ã,  You see a nearby skateboard and dig him out.

You don't know this person.Ã,  But he looks to be a doctor or some sort of well paid person by his suit.Ã,  There's no ID on him, but you do find a pen.

Continuing on trying to find that boar you come upon a chest of drawers.Ã,  Must have been the captains since everybody else had just what was on them.Ã,  You search the drawers and find some clothes that you'll be able to dry off and use while you're here, but you also find an empty champagne bottle.Ã,  You don't think it was empty just before the crash though.Ã,  Looks like the captain had one of those tiny model ships inside.Ã,  Too bad, you like those bottle in a ship things.Ã,  You decided to keep the bottle.

You start to walk away, but underneath the bottle you catch a glimpse of something.Ã,  You notice a book.Ã,  In the hopes that it is a gigantic novel to help you pass time you grab it.Ã,  Open the novel, you find that it is in fact, NOT a novel.Ã,  You shed a tear.Ã,  It is the captain's journal.Ã,  It hasn't been filled very much.Ã,  In fact, the logs start only last week.Ã,  That would explain how you got into this mess.Ã,  The captain was very green at sailing.Ã,  Darn your luck.

*months later*

You start to grow weary.Ã,  The solitude is making you a bit crazy.Ã,  You haven't been able to create a fire big enough to get noticed, but at least you've had enough fire for warmth and cooking.

One night after falling asleep, you wake up to someone walking over to you.Ã,  IT'S THAT DEAD DOCTOR!!!
You rub your eyes.
It's still him.
You blink.
Still there.

He speaks, "My dear boy, you aren't very bright. You have a pen, you have paper...."

He pauses....

then screams "USE THEM!!!"


You wake up in a scared burst of excitment.
Right away, you rip out a blank page of the journal and start writing down all you know to help someone find you.

You stuff the paper in the champagne bottle, seal it off with the sticky bandages, and chuck it into the ocean....

*months later*

Everyday you await a boat to come pick you, but nothing happens.Ã,  You continue to hope.

*months later*

One day you see the champagne bottle coming towards you and the island.Ã,  You swim out to get it and come back to the island.Ã,  You pop the cork that has been placed on the bottle and reach in for the new piece of paper inside.

YOU CAN'T REACH IT!!!

Your heart is racing, you run around island looking for something.

You see...
You see...
...
a toilet plunger...
eh why not?Ã,  It's small enough.

Using the plunger you extract the piece of paper from the bottle and begin reading...


"Dear stranded friend,

I could have turned in your note to get you saved, but instead I wrote you this note in hopes that I'm doing you a favor.
I am a 39 year old husband of 4 kids plus 1 kid I'm supporting from a previous marriage.Ã, 

I have no times for my hobbies, like building ships in bottles and watching football.

I am constantly nagged everyday, by both my wife and ex-wife.Ã, 

My children are always in my face wanting attention.

I would do anything, dude, to be in your position.Ã,  But, you have your bottle back, so if being on that island is NOT your thing, you can try to send another note.

Cheers mate...."

Your heart skips a beat at the message.
You sit in silence for several minutes pondering what just happened.
...
...
you sit
in SILENCE
...
you sit
...
peace
...
quiet


Standing up, you grab the bottle and throw it and hard as you can against a nearby tree, breaking the bottle into shards.

You have achieved the ultimate peace and quiet and live the rest of you life in a happy bliss.

THE END
