This is a true story, about the product of life. The twisting winds and currents in various areas around the oceans create gigantic swirling pockets of debris that persist on long time scales. Normally this material breaks down, normally that is until humans began producing billions of tons of non-degradable plastics. Now, a seafaring individual traveling into the vast waters between Hawaii and California will encounter what amounts to a floating trash dump, twice the size of Texas. A twisting demon beast that is slowly infesting our beings and claiming our existence as its own.

It is known by many names:
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
North Pacific Gyre
Eastern Garbage Patch
Pacific Trash Vortex
