Mad Mans Purgatory
A man gets rocked awake and groans, "For fuck's sake, can you drive a boat right?"
A man replies, "You really can't do anything about it because WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING STORM!!!"
The first man is Von Marcelo, a 5'0" Filipino. Von comes out of the cabin to see what's going on. He sees Juri Samihada enjoying the storm on the front of the ship. Meanwhile, Sam Clasher—a big blonde guy—is carrying buckets of water out of the ship’s storage.
Von asks, "Why are you carrying water out from there?"
Sam replies, "If the ship is filled with a shit-ton of water and it’s sinking, wouldn't you also try to survive?"
Von replies, "Holy shit, that’s deep."
Juri butts in, "You know what else is deep? That big-ass wave heading right at us!"
Everyone screams, rightfully so, as the wave sinks the ship.
A few moments later, they wake up disoriented and dizzy. They see their Captain staring at the woods, rifle in hand. "Captain, you good?" Von asks.
"I don't trust this island," the old man replies.
"Jon, I think you forgot to take your medicine," Von replies.
"Fuck you, Von, I'm not demented. I'm only sixty!" the Captain snaps.
"Exactly," Von mutters.
Sam butts in, "Von, stop bullying the old man."
Meanwhile, Juri finds a graveyard of ships. One is the same model as theirs. She spots the others and yells, "Hey guys! I think I found the marina!"
Everyone swarms the cliff and is shocked at the sight of so many sunken ships. Bhodi Stanberry jokes, "Damn, must’ve been a great party!"
Bhodi is the Captain’s assistant. Juri exclaims, "Bhodi, just shut the fuck up. Your jokes aren't funny!"
"Yeah, I think I'll just shut up," Bhodi mumbles.
"Good," everyone agrees.
"We should find shelter," the Captain commands.
The group moves into the forest. Before long, they see a lot of corpses, all wearing clothing similar to their own. They brush it off, thinking it’s just a coincidence. They eventually find a large cabin—though it looks more like a wooden mansion. Sam breaks down the door. They step into the dusty interior and see modern lightbulbs.
The Captain orders Von to look for a basement to see if there is a generator. "Von, go look for the basement. See if there’s a generator and look for gasoline. If you find some, pour it in and turn it on. Also, bring Juri with you. The boys and I are going to look for food."
Von replies, "Follow the leader, I guess."
A while later, Von finds the entrance to the basement. "So, uh, Juri, do you have a boyfriend back home?" Von asks.
"Fuck no," Juri replies, aggravated. "And if you’re trying to hit your shot, I’m into older guys like the Captain."
"I'm pretty sure the Captain sees you as a daughter. You are in the 'daughter zone,'" Von replies.
"Go fuck yourself, Von! You didn't have to tell me that. You could’ve at least let me give it a try."
Von cuts her off as he opens the door. Behold, he finds a generator and several jerry cans of gasoline. He also finds a skeleton with a letter; the corpse looks eerily similar to him, even down to the metal tooth.
"Damn, that’s a lot of gasoline... and a weird skeleton that somehow looks like me?"
He picks up the letter, noticing it was written in blood, but he doesn't read it and just puts it in his pocket. He turns on the generator.
"Alright, Juri, business is done. Juri? Oh, there you are."
She is looking at a tunnel. He flashes his flashlight at the tunnel, and a swarm of bats gets startled and flies away. One of them bites Juri, but she doesn't notice it.
"Weird. You okay, Juri?"
"Yeah, I'm okay." She looks at the bite mark and sees it starting to blacken, but she doesn't tell Von. "Yeah, let's go. It's getting chilly in here."
They come out of the basement. It is already dark. They realize they started looking for the basement around 12:00 PM, but now it’s night. The thought is interrupted by the boys arriving with canned goods.
"Sup everybody! We're back from shopping!" Bhodi jokes.
Everyone just stares at him with shame. "Oh, okay, I’ll just shut up," he says with deep and profound sadness.
"Hey, isn't it weird that only 30 minutes passed and it’s already dark?"
Everyone looks at Von and Juri like they’ve gone crazy. "What the fuck are you talking about? Von, the boys and I were out for seven hours looking for food!" the Captain yells.
"I'm telling you, man, this island is weird!"
A few minutes later, after a long argument between the two "eggheads," Sam and Bhodi, they conclude that the island was a military test site back in the day.
"So that is my theory," Sam says. "Oh, and also, I got this from a corpse and I'm going to read it, hoping it won't summon anything. Okay: 1, 2, 3, go! 'Boat at the end of the tunnel. Big water cave.' Wow, lo and behold, it didn't summon anything," Von exclaims.
The Captain grunts and says, "Well, we'll check it out tomorrow. Understood? We gotta rest first."
The next day, Juri wakes up to see her wound has blackened her veins. It is incredibly painful. She winces and speaks, "Oh god, this is fucking painful." She passes out from the pain.
An alarm clock rings, waking everybody up. It’s 7:00 AM. The Captain is the first to notice Juri shivering. He puts his hand on Juri’s head. "She's running a fever. Bhodi, you're a doctor, and I'm pretty sure you can handle a girl with a fever. We gotta check out the boat the note was talking about."
Von leads the way. "We gotta get the fuck out of here."
Finally, as they are leaving, they go down to the basement and find the tunnel. They find a button to turn on the lights, alerting the bats. The bats scatter, and the group ducks for cover.
"TAKE COVER!" the Captain yells.
The swarm of bats dies down, and they continue walking until they see the boat and a corpse trying to reach out for it. The corpse looks similar to Juri, but they ignore it due to the adrenaline of finding the boat. They take the keys off the corpse and see the fuel tank is full.
"Boys, we have finally found our escape! Now let's take the other men and get the fuck out of here!"
They climb back from the basement and reach the ground floor, but something is wrong. They see Juri on top of Bhodi. The Captain stops Sam and Von. He walks toward Juri and calls her name.
Juri snaps her head back. Her mouth is covered in blood. Her eyes are purple and her veins have blackened. She screams and leaps on top of the Captain. The Captain screams at the two remaining men to get to the boat and escape before his lips and tongue are bitten off.
Bhodi then stands up, also fully transformed. He screams and runs toward them at top speed. They start running and screaming. Sam trips, but Von keeps running. Sam screams his name as Bhodi jumps on top of him, gnawing on him.
Von gets to the boat, starts it, and puts it at full throttle. He sits down, the adrenaline wearing off. He has a breakdown and screams as the boat passes through a fog. Then, he sees the island. He thought he escaped, but it dawns on him—he is in a loop. He sees the many similar boats. He is trapped.
He screams until he is exhausted. The boat shakes, and a serpent made of his friends' rotting corpses opens its mouth and swallows him.
Meanwhile, a demon looks at him in disappointment. The demon looks majestic: blonde hair, sharp jawline, well-built body, and two horns. The only thing covering him is a loincloth. He squints his blue eyes in anger.
He records: "Experiment 107. Only 1 survivor." He presses a button named RESTART. In a flash, Von gets rocked awake by something hitting the ship. He complains to the Captain...
[THE END]
Note: Everybody hates Bhodi
