// The Case
The Story
James Carter disappeared in 1994. No trace. No body. Just a cold trail leading to a forgotten valley — and a post office that nobody had entered in years.
One year later, private detective Alex Reed picks up the case. He follows the last known lead to Willow Creek Valley, arriving at the abandoned post office Carter visited before he vanished.
The deeper Alex searches, the clearer it becomes: James didn't just disappear. Some places are better left unexplored.
As he stepped inside, he couldn't shake the feeling that someone else was already there.
