A Forbidden Island

Only accessible to research staff – this island contains a single uninhabited hut. Once home to a woman and her children, the island is now pretty much abandoned. There is something cool about the idea of having an island to yourself – just living away from the rest of the herd and not being bothered by door-to-door salesmen. Then again – when the weather changes, the night gets dark, and the wind howls – that very sanctuary becomes a deathtrap. Ooooh. Same place. Completely different vibes. All depends – as with everything in life. Context matters.
