Vocabulary Part 2 (Bernard's Exile)

Using six vocabulary words, write a story about Bernard once he arrives at his island of exile.

         

          Helmholtz and Bernard had been split up once they got to the Centre for Exilation and Transport. Mustapha had made it seem that Helmholtz and Bernard were going to travel together to the Falkland Islands, but upon arriving, the Gamma-Minus travel coordinator had motioned Bernard to walk to the lift at the end of the hall. Heading up to the 32nd floor, just below the roof, Bernard stepped out onto a rocket lander full of people that looked quite like him. 

          When all the people got aboard the rocket lander, the rear of the vehicle fulminated and Bernard nearly fell over due to the inital force of the takeoff. Bernard's heart was palpitating due to the sudden shock of the liftoff and the confusion as to where in the world he was going. It was all answered when a very energetic, effusive travel director stepped in front of the crowd to explain where they were going. (He was particularly joyful, Bernard could tell he was under the influence of at least 3 grammes.) It appeared that Bernard and the rest of his look-alikes were going to an island just off the west coast of Africa called Ilha de Såo Nicolau. 

          When the flight ended, Bernard had an optimistic attitude about the place by the way the man that was hopped up on soma had detailed it. That is until he stepped off the lander and the first thing to catch his eye was a huge, two-hundred and fifty-foot billboard towering over the island, littered with classic hypnopaedic phrases on it. Even worse, when Bernard took a glance about the town noticing its citizens, they were all Gammas! Was he brought to the island due to his size? Did the rumors about the alcohol in his blood surrogate go too far? Bernard slowly sulked in depression by a nearby river to cry. 

          After living a few days on his new island, Bernard never smiled, talked to anyone; just sat alone throwing rocks at his wall balancing between utter disgust, hatred, and depression. There were so many dents in the wall, Bernard felt it reflected his soul and his inner feelings. In some ways, he could connect and relate with the wall. Before long he got fed up and began to bounce the rocks off the wall at an awkward angle so that they would hit himself in the face. He figured he should be feeling as much pain as the wall and this continued until Bernard was put in a moribund state. The many bruises and cuts in his head were only a symbol of his insanity, so he kept on throwing the rocks until the last one splashed on his already bloody head killing him instantly.
