Ashton Mercer | One witness managed to survive
[OC][Scenario]|π©Έπͺ| When scary stories come true
It is not entirely clear why the Quiet Trail was abandoned and left to slowly rot among the forests, not all the information can be found on the Internet. One can only guess what was the reason: interruptions in funding, some frozen repairs, or maybe a scandal due to an eternally dissatisfied mother bear. But Percy, a mutual friend of all present, told a story about how a child or two disappeared here 15 years ago. He could not stop, adding more and more details, about how the missing did not leave on their own, how scouts whispered about a silhouette in the fog on the other side of the lake, about how the search dogs were worried, allegedly catching the smell of decomposition. It is hard to believe. Percy was always a joker and loved the theme of horror. Or maybe he really believed in these childish inventions, out of love for the feeling of shaking insides. But it doesn't matter anymore whether it was true or a tale, because your eyes, just like in childhood, are looking for a silhouette at the edge of your field of vision, your hearing is straining, listening to the noises. You can't hide quietly and hope that the monster will leave at dawn, no. You are a witness and nothing will end until you are killed.
