Tragedy on the Fallstaff Island: Several People Found Dead

Sun 6 Dec 2020 11.01 GMT

Local scouts and their scoutmaster were found dead on the Fallstaff Island after having been infected with a mysterious illness.

They just wanted to spend a weekend camping, but little did they know that an infected man had escaped from a lab and seeked shelter on the island as well.

Unfortunately, the boys were not able to communicate with the mainland to ask for help, since the military put the island under quarantine.

After a couple of nightmarish days on the island, one of the boys managed to escape on a boat he built himself.
