THE ISLE OF DEATH

Somewhere out in the Atlantic Ocean, just east of North Carolina, lies an island shaped like a huge footprint with amputated toes. A ridge of mountains runs the length of the island.

On one side the island is covered with a beautiful town. Mansions dot the hillsides and once beautiful gardens stretch out before them. But all the inhabitants of these wondrous homes reside on the other side of the island. If you look over the crest of the hills, you will see the vast expanse of a graveyard stretching from one end of the island to the other. For this is the Isle of Death.
