Missing the Boat

Morgan and Becca have been friends for years, sharing an online role-playing campaign where the players use dice and words but mostly their minds to build reality and create a story together.  When Morgan and her partner Lynn have the opportunity to attend a conference for computer professionals near Becca's home, it's the perfect excuse for the two of them to meet in realspace.  Becca's carefully-planned visit, spending the day on a scenic tourist island, goes perfectly . . . until the last ferry leaves without her and Becca is stranded on the island.
