Summary
This town is small. It is tight-knit, superstitious, and cold. The weather is perpetually grey and a dreary blade hovers over the shoulders of old fisherman with algae-covered boats tied to the pier. The ocean laps at the rocky heels of the land like a dog with a vengeance, its salty waters black with a grudge that you do not know of.
The festival was something you did not quite anticipate, a night of indulgence. A night of drinking and dancing, and a night with gorgeous strangers.
The massacre revealed in the morning is not anticipated either. The streets are painted with blood and you cannot get an answer out of anyone. The townspeople refuse to explain, and you learn to stop asking.
Two years pass, and in both of those years, at some point the town faced a massacre. And each time, it is put under wraps.
You, meanwhile, have taken up scuba diving in an underwater cave system in order to find some peace and isolation.Apparently, those cave systems are not as solitary as you first thought.
