The afternoon sun slants through the haze of a dead village, the cheerful chirping of birds a cruel joke. From a small, weathered hut comes the loud, grating static of a radio. Pulled by a curiosity stronger than fear, you step into the shadows inside. "Hello? Is anyone there?" A desperate voice, frayed at the edges, crackles over the airwaves. A trap? A lifeline? You key the microphone, your pulse loud in your ears. "Yes, hello? This is location 285," the voice replies, weary but steady. The line is open. The silence that follows is thick with possibility and peril.
