Typical Presentation, Storyline or Metaphor

Global warming has melted the polar ice caps and the surviving members of your group must take residence on an island which continues to shrink as the water level rises.
You are on a ship at sea that has suddenly begun to sink. The only safe place is the crow's nest. As participants continue to mount part of the crow's nest breaks off, leaving smaller and smaller available space for the members of your crew.
