Murmurs of the Deep
As the sun dipped below the horizon, they gathered at the local diner, a hub bubbling with the town’s secrets. The chatter around them dimmed as the river’s tale became the night’s topic.
Each patron seemed to have their own version of the legend, their voices a woven tapestry of fear, intrigue, and warning. These murmurs painted a picture of a deep-rooted legend, a specter that rose with the fog and laid claim to the river, reaffirming the elder’s haunting tales.
