Young and successful Edward Staulker, is an attorney with a very uneventful life.
He lost his faith in mankind many years ago-even as a child, he recognised the innate fakery borne by every Homo sapien and always resigned to a purer intercourse with the forest.
One day, he received a gift. But to accept this gift, he had to go on a journey; a journey that would change his life forever.

Jane Stanley, a university student, has had countless rough patches in her life. It's no wonder how she became a steadfast pessimist.
However, a little part of her still hopes that things will get better-a dream that fate dashes, the moment she crossed paths with this very strange man.

While the outcome of their meeting will require these two to tango; a third party, Fate, has joined the duo from behind the scenes. What happens when three try to tango?

The Forgotten Trails by ZRABYSS

"Some trails should never be followed. Some stories should never be told." - Unknown The Forgotten Trail Mountains have always been steeped in legend-whispers of cursed paths, vanishing travelers, and a presence lurking beneath the snow. No one has ever uncovered the truth, yet the stories persist, passed down like a warning too many have ignored. One fateful winter, nineteen strangers find themselves seeking refuge in the isolated Forgotten Trail Lodge, forced together by an unexpected blizzard. As the storm rages on, cutting them off from the outside world, something else begins to unravel. Hunger gnaws at their sanity. The howling wind outside begins to sound less like wind and more like voices. Paranoia festers, turning them against one another. Is it isolation fraying their minds? The primal terror of starvation? Or is it something far older, something woven into the very bones of the mountain-watching, waiting, calling? As the days stretch on and reality begins to twist, one question remains: will any of them escape the Forgotten Trail Lodge? Or will they, like so many before them, become just another story-one never meant to be told?
