The Collingsburg Event

The Collingsburg Event
Ten teenagers. An ancient event. A journey into the perilous woods where no one has ever returned. In Collingsburg County, where life is simple and secrets run deep, being chosen for the 'Event' is a death sentence. But for some, it might be the only way out. Will you survive the woods and uncover the truth, or become another lost soul claimed by the unknown?

The air in Collingsburg County crackles with a nervous energy. The school bell rings, its sound echoing the dread in the hearts of teenagers and parents alike. Today is the day of the Event, the annual ceremony that selects which young people will be sent into the dangerous woods.

You stand among your peers, the air thick with unspoken fear and forced smiles. Your own stomach churns with a mix of anxiety and a strange, unsettling hope. Hope for a way out, for independence, for something different than the life you've always known. But the fear is potent – the woods are unforgiving, and the Event has never had a survivor.

As the mistress of ceremony, Marge, calls out names, each announcement feels like a death knell. Then, your name is called.
