the story.
ordinary lives;
For a given value of ordinary, in any case.
The residents of Voidville are not so much unexceptional people as they are people that integrate without question into a contemporary Earth America. They may be remarkable, or eccentric, but they are realistic. They may believe they have been here since they were born, and their the graves of their parents to prove it, or perhaps they moved a few years back to get away from it all or settle.
dreaming big;
And when they go to sleep at night, they dream of another life. It's so vivid and so real it almost hurts. Usually, these come in the forms of memory-like enactments that feel like they're being lived live in the moment.
But this will begin to change.
the sky;
The sun rises and sets as it should. On the rare evenings the moon can be seen through the thick cloud cover that has seem to rolled in since winter's end and stuck around, it remains a continual crescent.
Recently (and as long as anyone can truly remember) a fog has rolled in that makes the island feel pretty isolated. It's during this time that the ferry has stopped running, and the Internet went down, and no one has come nor gone since.
living in a haze;
You may remember exactly what you did yesterday. Last week. Last month, even. But the fundamentals of history are reduced to handwaved notions, backstory that you know but the actual experience of it has dimmed. You've been going to the same diner forever, but you don't remember specifically your first time. You don't exactly recall how you met your best friend. Your childhood is an idea only.
But that's just life, isn't it?
Things get hazy.
