Kill and Island
Day 1
As the small lifeboat is drifting through the sea, the children on board are slowly leaving behind the happy and peaceful life of England and heading towards the hard and cruel challenge to survive. Their thoughts are slowly changing. Happy memories are turning to thoughts of hunting and murder and their tastes for music and games are slipping away. Their rations are limited and already, the look in their eyes is slowly turning from gentle to bloodlust.
This band of 15 children was thrust upon this deserted island. They are no more than 12 or 13 years old and most are much younger than that. There are approximately 8 boys and 7 girls, most are shaken by the sinking of the ship. This is a change to them. They all come from calm lives and now are stuck on this chaotic island, where their minds will slowly deteriorate and the sound of laughter in the playground will be replaced by bloodlust and a thirst for hunting.
They are all unfamiliar with each other. They must find a way to establish rules and government so they can maintain order. But the thoughts of these children are currently wrapped around hunting and survival. They are all strong, brought up on farms and not shy of hard work. Food and Shelter will not be an issue, but their sanity is a huge matter. They must find a way to replicate the gentle government that they came from, or they will go insane, and die on this island.
Day 7
These children have now established a good communication and have managed to find food and shelter. A leader has emerged from the group and they are hoping that they will eventually get rescued. This leader symbolises their hope of getting rescued and they need this if they are to remain sane on this island. When the leader came he had a bell. This bell is a symbol of the civilised existence in which is no longer within their grasp. The bell has done well to drive out savagery, no matter where it may lurk within the hearts of these children.
But already, traces of
