![]() You asked what land I love the best, Iowa, tis Iowa, The fairest State of all the west, Iowa, O! Iowa, From yonder Misissippi's stream To where Missouri's waters gleam O! fair it is as poet's dream, Iowa, in Iowa. The dusty dirt roads. The miles of corn. See yonders fields of tasseled corn, Iowa in Iowa, Where plenty fills her golden horn, Iowa in Iowa, See how her wonderous praries shine. To yonder sunset’s purpling line, O! happy land, O! land of mine, Iowa, O! Iowa. The rolling prairie. The beautiful sunsets. And she has maids whose laughing eyes, Iowa, O! Iowa. To him whose loves were Paradise, Iowa, O! Iowa O! happiest fate that e’er was known. Such eyes to shine for one alone, To call such beauty all his own. Iowa, O! Iowa Small town life in Northford, Iowa is just like life in any small town; everyone knows your name and business, whether you like it or not. Most don't. Some try to lie, but there are no secrets in Northford. The citizens eat, sleep, and breathe gossip, and they can smell a liar a mile away. In a small town, nothing is normal. So, welcome to Northford, Iowa, where normal is the watchword. |

The ship was to travel to Hawaii, though through a rather large detour through the ocean, and then it would sail back after a month of docking upon the island state. the perfect business opportunity or ... so it seemed
Big fat wrong. Suddenly, the winds picked up to ferocious speeds. Equipment and papers were yanked away from their owners; thinner models were nearly blown away. The ship was in total chaos. The crew rushed about in attempt to keep her from tipping, while the guests panicked with a sincerity they hadn't known they possessed. Through the dark of the night, the leather-thick rain, and the eruption of chaos, the captain didn't notice the mass of land he'd accidentally steered toward. The mighty vessel crashed into the rocky cliffs with a thundering crash. Shocked people were thrown overboard, and all hope was lost. The ship sunk quickly due to the massive damage, taking its supplies and trapped occupants down with it. The captain stayed true to legend and sunk with his beloved ship, saluting the fleeing crew members as he went down. the morning broke bright and sunny, as if mocking what her sister night had delivered not hours before
Gather up a character of your own, and help yourself and the others survive what may be the worst experience of your life. The inhabitants must resort to their instincts, no matter whether they've had training on how to do so or not. Many may survive the wait for a rescue, but many may not.
