The Whole Town Is in on It

Smile. Everyone here already knows what happens to you.

A stranger arrives somewhere pleasant. The neighbors are friendly, the streets are clean, and every single one of them is lying. The horror here isn't a monster or a killer — it's consensus, a whole community that has quietly agreed on your fate. The last to know is always you.
