Silent Ridge was the mining area next to Eclipse Town, which had prospered due to its copper mines, with a large number of miners settling here. At its peak, the total population exceeded thirty thousand.
Not anymore. The miners have mostly left, and aside from the local residents, few people visit.
Perhaps it was psychological, but Silent Ridge was almost exactly as Wayne had imagined it in his fantasies, with deep forests where not even birds would bother to relieve themselves, dim starlight in the night sky, and everything around cloaked in a thick layer of darkness.
The two made their way down the road and discovered a sedan at a fork near the village.
The sedan was scratched in multiple places, its window glass broken, its interior a mess, and even all four tires had been punctured.
Wayne reached into the car and grabbed a handful of air, took a sniff, and recognized the familiar scent of perfume—it was definitely Mona's.
