The River's Witness (en Inglés) - Joshua Bish

The storm was supposed to pass.

Instead, it stayed.

What begins as a quiet night along the Ohio River turns into something far more dangerous when relentless rain begins to swallow the valley surrounding Huntington, West Virginia. As floodwaters surge beyond their banks and emergency sirens echo through the hills, three college students find themselves stranded with nowhere left to go. Their only refuge is Camden Park-an aging amusement park standing just high enough above the river to escape the rising current.

But the storm refuses to let go.

The park is dark.

The power begins to fail.

And the water keeps rising.

Trapped inside the empty grounds, the three survivors move deeper into the park searching for shelter as the flood slowly cuts off every possible escape. Rides stand silent in the storm. Midways disappear beneath rushing water. And above it all, the towering skeleton of the Big Dipper roller coaster rises into the night like something ancient watching the valley drown.

At first, the storm feels like the only threat.

But as the hours pass and the flood closes in, strange things begin to happen inside the abandoned park. Unexplained sounds echo through the wooden rides. Shapes seem to move through the rain. And sometimes, in the brief flashes of lightning, something can be seen high above the park where nothing should be standing at all.

Something that does not hunt.

Something that does not interfere.

Something that simply watches.

As the river continues to rise and the night stretches on, the survivors must fight to stay alive in a place where the storm is only part of the danger. Because when the world begins to break apart beneath the weight of water and darkness, some ancient witnesses always return.

And the river is still rising.
