Surrounded by the deep blue sea, the tiny hillock consisting of only 80 acres of land,

known as Ross Island, was the paradise from which the Commissioner ruled the 293 big

and small islands, 8,249 square kilometers in area.

Now the only permanent residents of the deserted Ross island were some deer and

peacocks. They stamped over many a buried head, of convicts and their executioners, of

those who gave orders and those who obeyed them, some good and some evil.

Silent trees spread their branches and shoots into the crumbling skeletons of once

majestic mansions in a desperate bid to stop them from totally disappearing. A million

leaves murmured against the violent gusts of wind trying to dislodge the fragments of the

structures from their intricate embrace. Wave after wave pounded the islet from all sides.

There was no other sound. Strangely, I never heard any chirping of birds.
