Antarctica was extremely cold. Many have died from hyperthermia. This location would be a challenge to survive. There were many ice sheets, ranging from thick to thin, and could easily break. Depths of the exhilaratingly cold water contained corpses. Many corpses. If you fell, maybe you could meet some of them? You might even be able to meet Maeve. Apart of our main character's friendship group. She tried to contain a deadly virus that was located in the centre of the ice. And she did a great job, I won't lie. Until the night that everyone dreads occurred.

Maeve's eyes shoot open. Sweat encases her body. Her covers stick to her. In desperation, she grabs her covers and throws them off. Her hair sticks to her face, coving her eyes. She rips it away from her face, and screams. She grabs her clothes and strips. She runs out of her tent in desperation to cool down. She dives in the snow and rolls around. It's making it worse. She needs to try and get warmer. She runs along the ice towards the lookout tower the others had set up. The sheet of ice cracks. Her eyes widen with panic as she scratches at her skin. The sheet of ice collapses and she falls through into the depths of the freezing murderous water. Her muffled screams could not be heard from under the ice. Fading, fading. Maeve had to except her cruel fate. Her only goal in life could not be achieved. She just hoped her friends would survive what she's been trying to prevent all her life.
