Hostage at High Seas

Write a suspense story that involves taking hostages on a deserted island.

A remote location can heighten the tension when there is a small, confined group of people who don’t know if and when they will be released. What are the relationships between the hostages and their captors? What strategies do the captives use to outwit their captors or to stay alive? Explore themes of survival, negotiation, power dynamics, and hope versus despair.
