The Trek

Caleb stares at the dried blood on his hands and knows the canyon is wrong. He led this group of prospectors here using old maps, but instead of gold, they found a burnt-out camp with charred skeletons. People started vanishing at night. Young Billy went first, then Annie disappeared, leaving only a torn scarf on a thornbush. Caleb fights to keep his sanity as shadows in the rocks whisper in a language that has no place in Arizona, 1879. This 2026 horror-western explores the terror of primordial emptiness, where ancient evil wears cowboy hats.
