The Pedro Mountain Whisper

In the stark, unforgiving wilderness of Wyoming's Pedro Mountains, a chilling secret lies buried. Dr. Aris Thorne, a forensic anthropologist haunted by personal loss, arrives at a remote dig site, drawn by the discovery of a perfectly preserved, miniature mummy-a find eerily reminiscent of local legends. Dismissing the whispers of ancient curses and aggressive 'little people' as mere folklore, Aris immerses herself in the scientific pursuit, desperate to find solace in logic.
But the mountains have a memory, and the Nimerigar, an ancient, malevolent race from Shoshone legend, are not content to remain undisturbed. Subtle at first, their torment escalates: phantom pricks on her skin, disorienting chittering sounds echoing from unseen corners, and vivid, terrifying nightmares that blur the lines of reality. As the Nimerigar's insidious poison seeps into her mind, twisting her perceptions, Aris finds herself trapped in a terrifying psychological battle.
Her scientific skepticism crumbles under the weight of inexplicable phenomena, forcing her to confront a truth far more ancient and terrifying than any she's ever known. Can she appease the vengeful spirits and return the stolen relic before she succumbs to the madness, or will she become the Nimerigar's next, and most profound, victim?
