The Vanishing Town: A Detective's Hunt

Why are people disappearing in the town of Elmridge?

Detective Harris arrives after the fifth unexplained vanishing in two months.

Locals whisper about cursed woods and strange lights at night.

But Harris doesn’t believe in folklore—he believes in evidence.

His first stop?

The last place each victim was seen: the old train station, long abandoned.

Inside the station, Harris finds a torn scarf and a trail of muddy footprints leading into the forest.

Locals warn him not to go after dark, but he’s not one to wait.

As he steps into the woods, his flashlight flickers.

Something—or someone—is watching.

The air grows colder.

The silence?

Too perfect.

Deeper in the woods, Harris discovers a hidden cabin with strange symbols carved into the door.

Inside, he finds journals filled with cryptic entries and drawings of the missing townspeople.

One entry reads: “They come when the moon is full.” Suddenly, a floorboard creaks behind him.

He’s not alone in the cabin.

Harris spins around, gun drawn—but no one’s there.

The door slams shut.

He’s trapped.

Then, a voice whispers his name.

The journal pages flip on their own, revealing a photo of him—dated two days before he arrived.

The case just turned personal.

Whatever’s behind the disappearances...

it’s been expecting him.
