Recounts the harrowing experience of a surveyor and his apprentice, Seth, sent to inspect an old, sealed mine near the isolated town of Ever Creek. From the outset, the team encounters cryptic warnings from unnervingly silent locals and discovers ritualistic bundles of personal items near the mine, meant as offerings to ward something off. Research into town records reveals inconsistencies regarding the mine collapse and a recurring pattern of unexplained disappearances every two decades, attributed in folklore to the “faceless ones” inhabiting the shaft. When the surveyors open the mine, a rhythmic metallic sound is triggered, and the town’s passive compliance escalates into a violent, implied sacrifice in which Seth is taken. The narrator later finds his partner’s work badge among a fresh collection of offerings at the re-sealed mine and files a falsified report, recommending the mine remain closed indefinitely to preserve the town’s deadly pact.
