The hum of riverfall

Riverfall was always quiet.
Nothing ever happened there. No danger. No chaos. Just the same routine, every single day.
Until the hum began.
At first, it's barely noticeable-a faint sound in the background, easy to ignore. But then people start acting... different. Moments feel delayed. Conversations stop mid-sentence. And slowly, the town begins to change.
Lena Ortiz is one of the first to notice.
Along with Milo, Jade, and a boy who should have never come back-Ethan.
As the hum grows stronger, so does its control. People lose themselves. The world turns into something unrecognizable. And survival becomes a choice no one ever wanted to make.
But the truth is worse than they imagined.
Because this didn't just happen.
Someone caused it.
And stopping them might be the only way to bring the world back-
before there's nothing left to save.
