It is December, in the 1920s, in a large village in Alaska.
Dominic Wolfwood has always been a quiet man. He used to be happy, but after the death of his dog, he became bitter and antisocial. People at first thought he was a good person still deep down, but after years of his behaviour, people knew this was the new Dominic. But today changes everything! People are going out to explore the wilderness of Alaska, and bring back valuable loot. At first, Dominic didn't want to go without his late dog. But eventually, he decided to go and explore. 30 People begun preparations to set off to explore.
Dominic: *checks his watch* 2 Hours until it's time... *looks at a picture of his late dog* Oliver... I wish you could come... Don't worry. *packs his bag and goes to the center of the village*
Expedition Master: Alright! 30 people registered... 30 people here! Questions?
Archie: So what's our starter kit? We might need them
Expedition Master: Ah. You will get an axe for chopping wood, a hammer for smashing stone, a knife and a musket.
Max: Are we allowed to build houses for shelter?
Expedition Master: Of course!
Emma: When do we return?
Expedition Master: That's up to you, but you should all return by February. Anything else?
Silence...
Expedition Master: Alright. Now go out there!
And so 30 people set off to explore. However, a horrific snowstorm happens 6 hours after they leave, and they are so far in that they are unable to return. They are all stranded.
Dominic: God Dammit!!! *looks around* How am I going to survive... *sees a bunch of trees* Might as well... *chops down the trees, and collects the wood and puts it in a massive pile*
You see a montage of Dominic putting the wood into the ground, and making sure they fit. After a good few hours, it's night time. But he has finished his hut enough so that he can live in it.
Dominic: Might aswell get a fire going... *lights a campfire with the remaining wood he has* This reminds me of when me and Oliver went out in the summer... *sighs* I miss him...
Meanwhile, extremely far away from Dominic...
Max: *has gathered a bunch of loot* Alright... *perfectly fine living in a cave* This should be good for the night...
Charles: *silently walks in*
Max: *notices* Who's there?
Charles: Hello max... was going in this cave to see if anything was here, and I found you.
Max: What's your luck so far?
Charles: Found a few things, and made a little shelter... I'm good... You've got lots of loot...
Max: I've been working hard... haven't killed anything yet...
Charles: I've killed a bunch of things...
Max: You know Charles... *immedietly feels a sharp pain in his stomach and screams in agony*
Charles: *gets the knife out of max's stomach, and stabs him again in the heart, pinning him* Your loot... I want it... *pushes the knife so far that max is pinned into the floor*
Max: *dies after the extreme injury*
Charles: One down... 28 to go... Now how do I hide the body... Oh I know! *throws his body into another cave, where a bear is sleeping* I'll dispose of him.
It is the next day, and the focus is back to Dominic.
Dominic: *fishing in silence*
Emma: *sees Dominic* Huh... surprised he's here... he lets the death of his dog consume him-
Dominic: *stops fishing* What?!?
Emma: Oh! Hey!
Dominic: *gets out musket* Listen up bitch... You have any idea what it's like to lose someone you love? I lost my parents when I was 18 years old... My dog kept me happy for years... and he died. It was awful!
Emma: I know it's sad... and yes I've lost family before... But you've got to let go of the past...
Dominic: I won't forget him...
Emma: I'm not saying forget him. But your dog wouldn't want to see you sad...
Dominic: Just leave and let me fish.
Emma: Alright... *leaves*
Dominic: *goes back to fishing when he hears noises from his hut* What...
In his hut is a shivering wolf, who whimpers when Dominic enters. The wolf is injured.
Dominic: A wolf... *this reminds him of when he first found Oliver, injured. He then tosses him some fish*
Wolf: *gobbles the fish up, and is happy*
Hours go by, and the wolf has recovered and left. It is now night time again.
Dominic: *in the forest, smashing rocks up so he can use them*
Polar Bear: *sees Dominic and roars*
Dominic: Augh! *gets out musket and tries to shoot the bear*
Polar Bear: *barley hit and charges at dominic, roars at him before swiping, or at least tries to...*
Wolf: *growls and bites the bear in the neck at the last moment*
Polar Bear: *distracted and tries to kill the wolf*
Dominic: *shoots the polar bear in the head, killing it instantly*
Wolf: *licks dominic*
Dominic: *flooded with memories* Hey... want to come home?
Wolf: *happily follows Dominic back to the hut*
Dominic: *looks at a spare collar. He wouldn't dare give Oliver's old collar to the wolf, but he decides to give him a new one* Here boy... I'm going to call you Oscar...
Oscar: *barks happily*
Dominic: Alright... good night... *shuts door and goes to sleep for the night*
