Poço Surdo - the Deaf Well, they call it

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Poço Surdo doesn't appear on maps. And when it does, it's by mistake. They call it the Deaf Well. Hidden deep in the Portuguese hills, the village has lived by a single rule for generations: What happens in Poço Surdo stays in Poço Surdo. They say the well always gives back the dead. It never gives back the reason why. Eighteen years ago, two children died before their first birthday. The village buried them. It buried the truth with them. Everyone suspected someone. No one ever spoke. Because in Poço Surdo, silence isn't fear. It's survival. Now the Great Festival of the Well has returned. So have the people the village hoped it would never see again. Old wounds reopen. Forgotten names are whispered. Long-buried secrets begin to surface. Someone is finally asking the one question this village has spent eighteen years trying to silence: What really happened to those two children? And more importantly... Who has been protecting the answer ever since? Because the well always gives back the dead. This time, it may give back the truth.

Prologue

Poço Surdo - the Deaf Well, they call it - doesn’t appear on maps. And when it does, it’s by mistake.Some say the name came from a well so deep it swallowed the screams of those who fell into it. Others swear it was an exorcist priest who cast condemned souls down there, so they’d never find their way back. Some insist the true story is something else entirely, but in Poço Surdo, stories change with every telling before they ever reach the end.There is, however, one rule that has endured for generations, and no one dares defy it.

What happens in Poço Surdo stays in Poço Surdo.Because the well always gives back the dead.

Secrets, never.
