A modified short story from a young mind.
• • •
Axel's life was at times unsteady, but safe. That's the way he liked it; calm, unbothered.
But when his brother takes him on a boat trip aimed for the frozen tip of Alaska, a terrible turn of events leaves his world upturned-one might even say... capsized.
As he find himself cold and alone on a frigid island, his initial instinct is to simply... give up. It's something he's always been good at after all.
But will the shadowy remains of a brotherly love and the traces of an ancient life on the island be enough to force him to survive? To fight?
After all, there is no limit to the dangers when you're a castaway.
