Lawen, Oregon, along with other Oregon towns like Buchanan, looked back to a time when people didn’t know what to make of darkness. It hadn’t been all that long ago.
Simply because it was unknown, darkness was threatening. It could be nothing else.
Only when moonbeams fell could dangers be spied upon. Even then their malice was hidden.
The people of long ago knew the horrors hidden in darkness could not be properly explored. The evils could never be dispelled.
In the darkness of the Oregon Badlands Wilderness, spirits swirled through thin black air.
Lawen, Oregon knew all too well how little time had passed.
