The AfterBath

Ethan admired the pile while Nathan and Jacob walked around the island to make sure that no one was alive. Nate was assigned to throw the dead bodies of Luci, Weston, George, Parker and Jonathan L. out into the lake for the hovercraft to pick up. He seemed a little green afterward.
   "Don't worry, dude, you'll get used to it. I already have," Nathan said.
   "But they were our friends..." muttered Nate.
   "Were is the key word," Jacob reminded him.
   Nate quietly muttered something that no one could make out.
   "@#$%!!!!!! DUCK!!!" shouted Ethan, chucking a spear over their heads. It skewers John F., who had been sneaking around the island in hope of getting something from the pile, right through the stomach. He falls over and begins to writhe in pain. The pack walks over and circles him. Ethtan, soon joined by Nathan and Jacob, begins to laugh grotesquely.
   "You Monsters!" shouts Nate, who quickly puts an end to John F.'s misery by snapping his neck. The cannon sounds and John F. stops moving.
   "We were just having some fun," snaps Nathan.
   "You were watching someone DIE. Painfully, at that," he retorts.
   "Whatever. Unless you want to throw the body-" Ethan points at the bloody mass- "into the lake, we'd better get a move-" he suddenly stops.
  And the island begins to quake.
