The Man In Lock

The Manda Island, surrounded by the sea, is an idyllic retreat yet an oceanic penitentiary.

Penelope was chauffeured to the southwestern part of the island, to an apparently dilapidated, derelict cottage.

It was a cabin she decided to build after her honeymoon - when she didn't reside permanently on the island - for the purpose of resting after hunting, while simultaneously enjoying the coastal view. For it commanded quite an exalted position, making it a commendable feat for those who made the arduous trek around the island to journey up there and relish the seascape.

However, as worries piled up, she gradually abandoned maintaining and repairing the cottage, leaving it to the mercy of the rampant growth within the untamed jungle.
