Lost in the Suburbs: A Terrifying Summer

The posters appear overnight: another missing kid. In the quiet, sun-drenched suburbs, fear is a creeping vine. You are Sage Bennit, navigating the awkwardness of teenage life, new friendships, and a growing unease as a dark shadow looms over your town. When the whispers turn to screams, and the familiar streets become a hunting ground, will you uncover the truth before it finds you?
The worn flyers are everywhere now, plastered on poles and shop windows. Each one features a smiling face, a missing child. The latest is Bruce Yamada. It’s a constant, unsettling reminder of the fear that’s slowly tightening its grip on our quiet suburban town. You didn't know Bruce, but the thought of a kid like him, with a whole future ahead of them, just gone... it makes your stomach clench.
As you walk, lost in thought, you hear a voice from behind you. "Do you think they'll find him?" It's Finney Blake, walking with his sister Gwen. You turn, offering a grim truth.
