The first one

As Jude shook off the remnants of sleep and rose to his feet, he felt a sense of disorientation wash over him. The memories of his encounter with the giant woman lingered in his mind, the vividness of the dream still fresh in his consciousness.

But as he looked around the deserted shores of the island, he realized with a start that there were no signs of human habitation to be found. No footprints marred the pristine sand, no structures marred the natural beauty of the landscape.

With a mixture of relief and disappointment, Jude came to the realization that the encounter with the giant woman had been nothing more than a figment of his imagination, a dream born from the depths of his subconscious mind.

And yet, despite the knowledge that it had all been a fantasy, Jude couldn't shake the lingering sense of unease that clung to him like a shadow. For in that brief moment of lucidity, he had glimpsed a truth that lay beyond the realm of mere dreams, a truth that spoke to the depths of his soul and stirred something primal within him.

With a heavy sigh, Jude turned away from the empty shores of the island and set off into the unknown, knowing that the mysteries of his own mind would continue to haunt him until he found the courage to confront them head-on. And as he ventured forth into the unknown, he knew that the journey ahead would be fraught with challenges and obstacles, but he was determined to face them with courage and determination, armed with the knowledge that he was stronger than he had ever imagined.

With a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins, Jude wasted no time in springing into action as he spotted the figure bobbing in the sea. Without a moment's hesitation, he dove into the water and began swimming towards the person with single-minded determination.

As he sliced through the waves with powerful strokes, his thoughts focused solely on the urgency of the moment. He knew that every second counted, and that the life of the person in distress hung in the balance.

With each stroke, Jude drew closer to the figure in the water, his heart pounding in his chest as he fought against the currents and the pull of the sea. But he refused to let doubt or fear cloud his mind, driven by a deep-seated instinct to lend aid to those in need.

And finally, after what felt like an eternity, Jude reached the person and grabbed hold, pulling them close with all the strength he could muster. As he dragged them towards the safety of the shore, he felt a sense of relief wash over him, knowing that he had succeeded in his mission to save a life.

But even as he emerged from the water, dripping wet and exhausted, Jude knew that his work was far from over. For the true test of his character lay not in the act of rescue, but in the moments that would follow, as he tended to the needs of the person he had saved and ensured their safety and well-being in the aftermath of their ordeal. And as he looked out at the vast expanse of the sea stretching out before him, Jude knew that he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, armed with the knowledge that he had the strength and resilience to overcome them.

He got that person to the shore and put them down. He realized it's a woman. As Jude watched the woman lying on the shore, her body limp and lifeless, a surge of panic threatened to overtake him. But he refused to succumb to despair, knowing that there was still hope as long as he continued to fight for her survival.

With a sense of urgency, Jude sprang into action, quickly assessing the situation and identifying the steps needed to save the woman's life. Without hesitation, he began administering CPR, pushing down on her stomach to expel the water from her lungs and performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to restore her breathing.

As he worked frantically to revive her, every second felt like an eternity, the weight of responsibility pressing down upon him like a heavy burden. But he refused to give up, drawing upon every ounce of strength and determination he possessed to keep fighting for her life.

And then, just as he was beginning to lose hope, he saw a glimmer of movement, a cough, a gasp, a sign of life returning to her body. Relief flooded through Jude's veins as he watched the woman cough and sputter, expelling the water from her lungs and drawing in precious breaths of air.

In that moment, Jude felt a profound sense of gratitude and accomplishment wash over him, knowing that he had succeeded in saving a life. Despite the challenges and obstacles he had faced, he had refused to give up, and his perseverance had paid off in the most meaningful of ways.

As the woman's breathing steadied and color returned to her cheeks, Jude allowed himself a moment of quiet satisfaction, knowing that he had made a difference in the world, even if only for one person. And as he looked out at the vast expanse of the sea stretching out before him, he felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with courage and resolve.

He asked her,

"Are you okay ma'am? Can you hear me? Can you respond? Tell me your name."

The woman said,

"I'm Susan, and I can hear you clearly. Thank you for saving me."

With a gentle smile, Jude reached out to touch Susan's shoulder, offering her comfort and reassurance in her moment of vulnerability. He was grateful that she was alive and safe, and he was determined to do whatever he could to help her recover from her ordeal. He said,

"No need to thank me. Thank God for giving you back your life. I'm just a medium."

She also smiled back at him but she saw something else, she pointed her finger towards the sea…
