The Island

The Island (0°00'00.0"S 131°49'58.7"W)

It all started in 2076, not to mention that even before, when man-made himself felt in every corner of the world. The clouds were dropping black rain, and the sirens of each country left a trail of fear and despair with each batch of sounds that emerged in the streets, the green of the trees became a simple memory, as well as the sounds that accompanied them. Wild animals were believed extinct, outbreaks of unprecedented diseases and pandemics developed over time, and to conclude humanity was affected by a terrible war over the latest available resources.

In 2016 they predicted that the consequences of ignorance and human selfishness were approaching. But companies continued to pollute for money, governments still did not act for the same reason, and although a part of the people acted against the catastrophe that emerged, it was not enough to avoid it.

Every year there were new and more recurrent natural disasters, the actions taken were still not enough. Overpopulation, lack of resources, global warming, pollution, natural disasters, and the spread of new and more resistant pandemics and diseases. All emerging at the same time and becoming more dangerous over the years. When finally the collapse arose from day to night, making it completely irreversible.

After decades, civilization managed to recover by settling in safe areas and creating large cities where all humans would live together. Society would become a utopian dystopia, where the system would logically and rationally control everything, to achieve "logical happiness". In order to do this, they also created a law so that anyone who does not want to live in that society, and therefore commits a crime or opposes the state, will be sent to an island, in which there are no laws. People would live in a natural state, in an individualistic way, or at least that is what they had in mind while sending me here.
