2. Arrival

When my senses had returned, I found myself on a beautiful island with red earth and lush vegetation.  A fresh, clear lake was nearby, and beyond the lake was a door.

I turned around and noticed a piece of paper, which turned out to be a note.  I copied the note into my own journal:
 
Elsie
 I have left you a message
of utmost importance.
 Enter the number of White
Cartons on the island into our
forechamber imager to view
this message.

    yours,
            Torus

Okay, I said to myself.  To my left was a barn.  A White Carton was at the door.  Further to my left was a haystack with a pitchfork stick out of it and, most notably, a White Carton siting on the front.  To my left a little more was a huge block of salt.  A White Carton was on top of the block.  Even further on to my left was a well, with another White Carton sitting precariously on the edge.

I couldn't see any more White Cartons, so I went back to the door beyond the lake and found that there was indeed an imager inside...
