A small, grassy island in the middle of the water. The only thing on the island is a large billboard-like sign, as wide as the island, with the words "here be dragons" on it in rough, weatherbeaten lettering. The sign is pretty weatherbeaten itself, with worn edges and a chunk missing from the lower right corner. The only other thing visible are wispy clouds behind the sign. The drawing is gray-green ink on a light gray-green background. The clouds and some of the water texture are white.

An aerial view of a small, mostly wooded island. In the center of the island, dominating it, stand the crumbling remains of what looks like a high-rise apartment block or hotel. The uppermost stories especially are coming apart, as though from a fire. Elsewhere on the island are scattered outbuildings: a small boxy building next to a helicopter landing strip, a lighthouse at the northern tip of the island, the remains of an antenna to the south, and a rusting shipwreck in a small cove. In the top left is a compass symbol. This island has no name, and the few that even know if its existence are happy enough not to speak of it. There is little left to attract visitors: just woods, ruins, and an uneasy sense that perhaps this forgotten place is not as uninhabited as it appears.

A giant clock the size and shape of an apartment building stands on an island, set against a crimson sky with yellow clouds. A person stands next to the clock.
