The Hollow Chapel

At the edge of a forgotten village stands a chapel with no bell, no history-and no escape.
When Mara arrives to investigate a string of quiet disappearances, she finds something far worse than death waiting inside.
A priest who doesn't absolve sins.
A congregation that leaves... lighter, but changed.
And a secret buried beneath the chapel that was never meant to surface.
The priesthood was never about salvation.
It was about containment.
Every confession feeds something older.
Something patient.
Something growing beneath the ground.
And now-
It's beginning to break through.
As the line between guilt and identity begins to unravel, Mara must decide:
What happens when humanity is forced to face everything it has ever buried?
And more importantly-
Who will be left to carry the weight?
