Whispers in the Wind: Abandoned Dreams and the Stories They Tell
The wind howled through the skeletal remains of Hashima Island, whispering tales of a forgotten past. Once a bustling hub for coal miners, its concrete bones now stood as hollow monuments to a bygone era. Nature, in a slow, inexorable dance, had reclaimed its dominion, cloaking the deserted apartment buildings in a verdant shroud. Imagine stepping onto this desolate isle, a solitary adventurer amidst the ghosts of industry. Your boots crunch on overgrown concrete, the silence broken only by the rustle of leaves and the distant cry of gulls. You peer through vacant windows, catching glimpses of lives once lived, furniture shrouded in dust, memories clinging to the peeling paint.

Reed Literary Horror Review of 'Beneath the Unspoiled Wilderness' (2022). Content Warning.
On the surface this is just your basic slasher novel. Some young adults go camping and something picks them off one by one. But as that plot progresses you realize there is still a ton of book left. So, after the final girl does her thing, what's left? And that enters the next phase of the book. You see, there are three distinct parts to this novel. It's not just some slasher, it's everything that would go along with it. What happens to the final girl after the nightmare is over is what this story is really about and it is indeed gripping. Gripping and quite tragic, I should say, without going into the spoilers.

Unwilling victims of an EVIL experiment
At around 1am on March 1 1954, a 20 year old fisherman named Oishi Mata Shishi finally headed down to his bed on the lower deck of the fishing boat that he worked on, which was called the lucky dragon number five a wish he was totally exhausted. He and the other 22 crew members had been working practically around the clock 18 hour days for the last six weeks trying to catch tuna. But so far, this trip had really been a disaster. They had gotten stranded on sandbars. There had been these terrible storms that had nearly capsized the boat. And then also they had lost a lot of their fishing lines when they got snagged on coral reefs. And so as a result, their tuna hauls so far had been devastatingly low and Oishi and the rest of the crew were very aware of this. In fact, Oishi was very worried that he would not bring home enough money to support his family. Back when Oishi was 14 years old, his father, who had been the breadwinner for their family had been crushed to death when he was repairing a ship. And so now we she had stepped into that patriarch role, taking care of his mother and his five other siblings. And so a week she really needed a solid paycheck from this trip, and it wasn't looking like that was going to happen. And so a week she staggered his way into his small room and he collapsed onto his bed. And as he lay there trying to sleep, he felt the ship gently rocking side to side, the ship, the lucky dragon number five was anchored relatively close to the Marshall Islands, which is a strip of islands right about halfway between Hawaii and Australia. But what's unique about the Marshall Islands is they sit over these huge ancient underwater volcanoes. Now these volcanoes are dormant. But the captain of the lucky dragon number five was weary enough about getting too close to these dormant volcanoes in fear they might erupt, that he intentionally kept them about 80 miles or so away from the Marshall Islands. And so eventually a we she did drift off to sleep in his bunk, but five hours later, Oishi suddenly sat up wide awake, because the little room he was in was now completely flooded with this very bright yellow light, and so Oishi and it was kind of confused, he felt like it was too early for sunrise. And he checked his watch. And he saw it was only 6:45am. And so yes, it was too early for sunrise. So whatever this was, it was not the sun. And then when he went to the little porthole window were all this light was coming in, you know, he had to squint his eyes, but he looked outside, and he couldn't tell where this light was really coming from or what it was, but he could clearly see it was coming from the west, and the sun rises in the east. So really whatever this light was, it was not the sun. At the same time. The rest of Alicia Keys crewmates were in this room with him. They were also starting to wake up and kind of looking around like what's going on here. And then without even saying anything. All of them just rushed out of the room and ran upstairs to the top deck to look around and see what was going on. And when they got up there, Oishi looked out towards the west where these lights were up in the sky, and he couldn't really see a clear point of origin. It wasn't like there was an obvious thing, creating these lights. It was more like the western sky was just unbelievably bright and yellow and orange. And it seemed like the light was kind of hovering over where the Marshall Islands would be. And so everyone's thinking, you know, is it possible this is a volcano eruption, you know, is there something else going on here? And then as the crew is just watching and stunned silence and all these crazy lights in the sky, the light's kind of began to fade and they turned blue and purple. And then they just went away and the entire crew was pitched back into darkness. And as everyone's just standing around having no idea what to make of these lights, the oldest crew member on board who was 40 years old, he said the one thing that everybody kind of in the back of their mind was thinking about but didn't want to say, the oldest crew member just said, atomic bomb. just nine years earlier, the United States had dropped two atomic bombs on Japan to end World War Two. Now Oishi who was Japanese, he was 11 years old at the time this happened and it had a profound impact on his life and his family's lives as friends. I mean, anybody who was alive when this happened, it changed everything. But as a way she and the rest of his crew are kind of staring out to the West, which was all dark at this point. But we she thought, you know, there's no way this could have been an atomic bomb. Number one, World War Two is over. So there's no reason a bomb would get dropped again, and to when those atomic bombs were dropped on Japan nine years earlier, it vaporized basically everything and everyone and its path. And so for them to be this close to these huge lights, you know, if that were an atomic bomb, wouldn't they to be vaporized like they would not be able to see that and live. And so we she began to tell himself, you know, okay, it probably was not a volcano eruption, it probably was not an atomic bomb. I don't know what it was, but we're okay. And while many of the other people onboard the ship felt the same way, Oishi did very quickly, the call came out amongst the crew to just go ahead and bring in the lines right now, we don't know what these lights were. But we need to head back to port back in the Aizu, Japan, and so quickly Oishi and the rest of the crew got to work pulling these lines in and prepping the boat to head back to port. And then at some point, after a week, she had done what he was supposed to do, he began walking his way down below to the galley to get some food. But when we she was about halfway, he suddenly heard this deafening explosion outside coming from the west where these lights had been. And immediately, Oishi just jumped onto the ground, covering his head thinking that was going to protect him. And as he's laying there listening to this unbelievable exploding sound, he's thinking, Oh, my gosh, one of those volcanoes under the Marshall Islands has indeed erupted. That's what's happening at any minute. Now, a giant tsunami wave from this eruption is going to flip us over, we're gonna get killed here. And so we she, as this massive exploding sound is going on, he jumps to his feet, and he runs upstairs, and he finds the majority of the crew that was still up there had jumped to the ground, and they were just kind of protecting themselves, a couple braver crew members that stood up and we're kind of looking out towards the west to see if they could see what was going on. But there were no lights. Now it was just these crazy loud exploding sounds coming from the west. And then suddenly, all the sound stopped and Oishi. And the crew at that point braced for what they believed was this inevitable tsunami wave that was going to hit them. But the weird thing was, is after the exploding sound stopped, everything was totally calm. In fact, a wish he glanced over the edge of the boat, and he saw the water was totally Placid, more calm than normal. And after a few more minutes went by, and no massive tsunami wiped them all out. The crew was like, What's going on here?
