In March 2000, you are on Braddock Island off the US East Coast, 25 miles south of New York’s Long Island, and east of New Jersey’s coastline. Stories begin to circulate around the world of some folk getting very aggressive- and then the most recent news even shows a few people attacking one another- to the death! Some animals have even turned feral like their human counterparts, running amok in tandem. Whatever happened seems to have spread abruptly after months of a reported "zoonotic infectious disease" began to sweep the world. Headlines had started to spread about the increased aggression and violence in America, but most had only thought it was due to the anxiety of the new millennium... In less than a week since the first reports of those random attacks from fellow Americans, chaos began to unfold. Radio and TV reports spoke of the same things that had been witnessed among other news or rumors.
Rumors persist of some group having a part in what afflicts the world. Maybe it was a government, a world power, a terrorist cell, or perhaps a pharmaceutical company? The answer does not matter at this moment as national governments have moved to try to halt the flow of the illness that had spread after the fever pitch, locking down borders, be they national or international. Braddock Island is no different, with shelter-in-place orders given, keeping many native and foreign residents confined to the island. As time passes since the outbreak, refugees from the mainland come in droves, adding to the survivors and infected on the island. No matter your origin, you are stranded here with no chance of escape. The world is in free-fall, and all are trying to survive the oncoming storm. What tales will you tell as you weather what is to come?
