Silent Descent: A psychological Thriller

Grief buries you. Fear digs you deeper.

When Erin Granger and her friends descend into the abandoned Desert Pine Mine, they expect a thrilling adventure—an escape from their everyday lives. But as they move deeper into the tunnels, something unsettling happens. Their flashlights dim without explanation. The air feels heavier. The walls seem to shift when no one is looking. Then the lights die altogether, and.... complete and utter darkness.

Then the whispers start—not in the mine, but in their minds. Regret. Guilt. Fear. The deeper they go, the more their pasts surface, twisting their perception of reality. Each of them begins to spiral through the stages of grief: denial as they dismiss the warning signs, anger as they lash out at each other, bargaining as they cling to false hope, depression as the weight of their choices drags them down. And finally, the most terrifying step of all—acceptance.

Because something in the mine wants them to give in. To surrender. To disappear.

Trapped in the dark with no way back, they must fight not only for survival but for their sanity. But as exhaustion sets in and their minds unravel, one question remains: Are they truly alone in the mine, or have they brought their own ghosts with them?

Somewhere in the darkness, the answer waits. And not all of them will make it back to the light.
