Chapter 1:
Quiet Beginnings
The soft hues of dawn painted the town of Maplewood, casting a gentle glow over the cobbled streets and red-bricked houses. Nestled within the protective embrace of the looming mountains and dense forests, Maplewood had always been a sanctuary of peace.
It was the kind of town where children played freely in the streets, and neighbors greeted each other with familiar smiles. It was where the passage of time seemed slower, and the weight of the world outside felt like a distant dream.
The town's heart was its picturesque town square, surrounded by mom-and-pop stores, each with its own charming character.

Elaine Mitchell, a schoolteacher at Maplewood Elementary, always began her day with a cup of tea from The Willow Café. Her routine was sacrosanct, shaped by years of living in the town she'd come to love. Over time, Elaine had become an integral thread in Maplewood's fabric, molding young minds and ensuring the traditions of the town were passed on to the next generation.
A Strange Sight
BUT THAT FATEFUL MORNING, as Elaine made her way to the café, she stumbled upon a sight that sent shivers down her spine. In the center of the town square, around the base of the fountain, lay dozens of dead
