The little town already felt abandoned by the time she visited her grandmother there. The school had closed, families had moved away, and most afternoons the playground sat completely empty.

So when two barefoot boys suddenly appeared behind her at the swings one summer afternoon, she was more surprised than frightened.

At first, they seemed friendly enough. But something about them felt… off.

The younger boy’s hands were ice cold. The older one carried a sack of old bottles the local store supposedly hadn’t accepted in years. And after the boys promised to come back, they disappeared without a trace.

It wasn’t until later, after hearing an old story from her grandmother, that the encounter started to feel far more unsettling.
