Skull Island

The ferry slips quietly alongside a rocky shore as the morning mist lifts over Skull Island, revealing tangled green canopies and jagged ruins that poke through the undergrowth. The salty tang of the sea blends with the dense, earthy aroma of damp leaves and wild orchids. From the dock, the distant rumble of a deep growl vibrates through the air, a reminder that this island doesn’t play by ordinary rules.
