A tiny, mysterious town with few, but odd residents, Riverway is home to the infamous Pine Forest, eerie is just one word to describe it, though fascinating. Mist covers the forest floor during a large portion of the year, but sometimes, on rare occasions, it does clear out, revealing a large and beautiful lake that glistens under the sun; tall and ancient pine trees, some of them containing hearts with the initials of past lovers carved in them, serving as memories to the residents; and the town certainly brightens up as the local diner is much more lively and known for its to die for food.

But like the mist that hangs around, the mysterious town is shrouded in rumors, whispers, and conspiracies. There are more than a few abandoned buildings with the phrase “Bring Them Back” graffitied in large letters all around the town with small piles of dead flower bouquets under them. Posters and flyers scattered around on boards through the area talk about alien sightings and masked murderers, and old news articles mentioning disappearances of random tourists and other nameless people. Riverway definitely has a dark history that only few know about, _{and perhaps it's better that way.}

And not only that, to those few who've been here for some time know that the forest seems to have a mind of its own. The isolation and the stillness of life around it causes a sense of paranoia over time, making people see and hear things that aren't there, and slowly tearing down the mind's emotional defenses leading to fight or flight responses and mental breakdowns. Common sense, trust, and realistic thinking slowly dissipate as tension heightens in a seemingly exponential manner. Or so it is rumored. But hey, it's Spring Break bitches.
