Core Narrative 1

The story will be told through an audio book- which consists of 8 journal passages, each describing the following instances:

 * Oz, weeps to his wife Anne, apologizing for his selfish act of driving under the influences- there he explains his inner struggles with depression after the miscarriage of their son.
 * 1) For documentation purposes, Oz outlines the various issues within the prison. The excess amount of prisoners have caused these individuals to live in dangerous and hazardous environment. Food provided lacks the nutrients necessary for people to work and anyone sick is quarantined off into a secluded building rather than received treatment.
 * 2) There have been a ton of missing individuals throughout prison and with no connection to the outside world, he wonders if they may perhaps be just transferring people. But that still doesn’t explain the use of violence - clearly smeared across the walls and floors…
 * 3) It was one night that Oz was woken up to hear someone in a nearby struggle in the hands of some officers at night. He asked where he was being taken and all the officers kept responding with was “a better place".
 * 4) There was a revolt within the prison- newcomers have revealed where prisoners are being taken- the once thriving Iceland has been deemed by the countries as the perfect place to rid of felons. Blood was shed and Oz had begun to lose hope in seeing his wife again.
 * 5) Oz had woken up with a pain on his right temple. Hazily, he remembers that he had woken in the middle of the night and his overcrowded cell was stormed by prison officers.  There, he was beaten for their amusement before being shoved onto some sort of vehicle, where he had woken up. They had in fact reached a dock. It was at that dock that they realized he, along with the other felons were being placed on a boat.vehicle
 * 6) He ends up confirming that they are in fact on a cargo ship, filled with goods headed to Europe. The majority of prisoners are hurt, to possibly stop them from causing a ruckus when heading over to the new island as he heard while eavesdropping on some officers. At the moment, all prisoners have to consume is bread and water.
 * 7) Oz has now lost hope. Now stranded to live for himself- he ran off somewhere to escape the mad men that inhabited the coasts of Iceland. Dismembered individuals were all over as well as a ton of sexual activity left and right. This hunger for violence and intercourse has been searing in all these prisoner's minds as they rotted in their cells. Oz had to now go on a hunt for like minded individuals to now survive.
