The Street Cleaner

Concerned about a crime wave that threatens to erode the progress of his thriving community, new Governor Jelani Russell developed the Violent Illicit Criminal Extraction program (VICE).

He utilizes the program to extract the most dangerous criminals from society, then transports them to a remote island thousands of miles away from civilization.

What became immediately apparent was that the criminals — unwanted in society — were immensely unwelcomed by the inhabitants of the island, and in a twist of fate, the “hunters” of the community became the “prey” of the island.

The program that was designed to “Clean the Streets”, and garner approval and support for the new governor, has snowballed into a dangerous situation that threatens to destroy everything Governor Russell has worked his entire life for, including his family.

Creatures both large and small are commonplace on the Sentineze Island. Over the many years of occupying space on the island, territories and boundaries are understood and generally respected by the large array of animal species, as well as the Orango Tribesman and their families.

Young Aasir found himself in the clutches of a beast so powerful it could completely devour him in a matter of minutes. He let out a wail so loud it could have awakened the ancestors; he was staring into the eyes of a predator so proficient in its ability to disembowel, the village people simply refer to it as “Umbulali”, which translates to “Killer”.
