Cursed Island

Five people.
One ocean.
One island that was never on any map.
The sea brought them here.
It isn't letting them leave.
They were never really friends.

Just five people who kept ending up in the same place, until the night the ocean swallowed them whole and spat them out somewhere that shouldn't exist.

Gold sand. Wrong stars. Creatures with too many heads and no eyes.

Hale has siblings to get back to.
Stella has a life that was finally going somewhere.

Gabriel just needs Stella to come home.

Lisa is pretending she's fine.

And Taylor is doing what Taylor always does holding everyone together while quietly falling apart.

The island doesn't care about any of that it has a way of finding the worst version of you and pulling it to the surface.
Some places don't just strand you.
They curse you.
