Escape from Tyranny - 50 word story

Thanks @miniature-tiger I love this idea of trying to tell a story in just 50 words! Here goes...

ESCAPE FROM TYRANNY

Travelling for days.

The smell of escape heavy on the breeze. A chill on the sea air like the incessant beating of a drum. A blood-red moon bleeds carnage upon my home, so we must away.

Hope had faded to invisible....

Then it appeared, humanity's last outpost, heavenly - the Island.
