I went into the Arizona desert looking for solitude. I came back with questions no one wants answered. What started as a simple hiking trip through Coyote Ridge became something far darker after I met two strangers on the trail—one of whom never quite acted human. He didn’t blink. He didn’t sweat. He knew things he shouldn’t have known. The deeper we went into the desert, the more the land itself seemed to watch us. This isn’t a story about monsters jumping out of the dark. It’s about the quiet moments when you realize something is walking beside you… wearing a familiar face.
