  Summary

  “This started as a school project and spiraled into my descent into madness.”
  _______

  On September 7, 1490 in London, UK, children were forced to evacuate out of Britain due to the threats of air raids by German forces, which is now known as 'The Blitz'. Taking place way before the start of William Golding's "Lord Of The Flies", we see what exactly happened before the boys crashed on the island.
