A semester at sea, an enjoyable time for new friends and experiences.
Our story takes place a month into the semester, friendships are established, memories are made, and a group of six has become particularly close, and then, one had an idea. The ship they were aboard had a boat. Why not take it and explore a nearby island? The idea seemed interesting enough, considering that no one was allowed off of the ship without supervision, and the island in mind happened to be off-limits. It was unanimous.
Exactly an hour after lights out, the group made their move. When they finally set out, clouds covered the sky as their ship grew farther away, and then a light rain picked up. The group pressed on, a little rain wasn't going to stop them, and it seemed like the perfect cover, no one would be out on deck to see the missing boat.
Pressing on the storm began to grow until it became too much for the smaller boat, soon they lost sight of both the main ship and island. Waves crashed over the sides of their boat, weighing it down until the bottom of the hull smashed into the rocky waters surrounding the forbidden place. Immediately someone was thrown overboard on impact, and the boat began to take on more water, cracking and beginning to sink.
Only five of the group made it safely to the island.
Once reaching the beach, the group immediately noticed something was off, this was not the island they intended to reach, but one untouched by man, one never previously documented. One that doesn't exist. One that shouldn't exist. Completely isolated from humanity. And now their only hope is escaping themselves. But until then, the island has much more in store than this group of five had bargained for.
