Every October on the shores of Iceland a very special thing happens. The Great Seals wash themselves on the shores to feed on the many clams that have been on the shores. After this they go into hibernation for a long period of time. It is quite a magnificent thing to watch as the seals roll up on the shore and dig up the clams. People a lot of times find that the sounds of the seals cracking open the shells and eating them is soothing to the soul. If people visit Iceland in October it is a must see for them. That brings us to our story. The seals swimming on shore bring many people together, from all different backgrounds, this happened to nine people from all over America. The want to make the journey brings them together. But first all of them must meet each other. That starts in the town of Boston, Massachusetts where the Nation Museum of Seals is. Where all of the characters that are entering our story have been in before, and by purchasing a ticket in they went into the contest for nine lucky contestants to win a trip to Iceland to see the seals go on shore. From all over the country they will meet at the museum to make the pilgrimage.

The first character in our story is the homeless man. The homeless man got in the museum just so he could spend the night in the Neanderthal cave. He doesn’t have any family; he just randomly travels across the country. Getting rides from strangers, getting odd jobs so he can buy food. He came into being homeless because he wife had divorced him and his business started to fail with the loose of that. He never had any kids and his parents are dead. He has been through a lot in his life. Ever since he was a kid he has had it hard. Approaching eighty, this will be one of his last great journeys.

The Banker is a smart, business man that has lived the highest standard of living. He goes to all of the upper class parties. He is one of the top earners in his company. He is very wealthy, and he came into his wealth by working hard and learning out to use his charm to manipulate people to get what he wants. Many of his fellow employees look up to him and wish to be like him. He lives in New York in an upscale apartment, where he lives alone, but many times if filled with people from all over visiting. At the end of the day, He sees himself as living the perfect life.

The Janitor, he is a grumpy man who thinks that life is nothing but a horrible journey that no one is supposed to enjoy. He never moved from his home town, which he hates. He was always the one to get picked on when he was little and became that older bully that picks on kids. He is overweight and is a single man that got divorced by his wife because he was always grouchy. The one thing he has enjoyed and spends all of his time on is watching the National Geographic channel on the Great Seals. He relates to them because they are fat like he is.
