The Inn at the Forks
252
At the Inn at the Forks, shadows twist in the corners where the echoes of Indigenous trade routes once thrummed with life, now thick with the weight of unspoken histories. Guests often find themselves locked in a breathless gaze, the flickering lights above an uninvited herald of unseen watchers lurking just beyond the veil of perception. Each night, the old bones of the hotel seem to groan with anticipation, as if hungry for the next soul to unravel the secrets it has kept too long-whispers curling through the air like smoke, promising nothing good will come of a long stay.
