Curiosity can be dangerous.
While traveling through an unknown Latin American country, an American man and his two friends make a routine stop for gas on a lonely, dusty road. It should be an ordinary moment—fill up the tank and move on—but something feels off. The air is thick, the land too quiet. Then, beyond a rusted fence, something catches his eye: strange hanging ornaments, twisted shapes that look like sheep skulls swaying in the wind.
Leaving his friends behind, he jumps the fence, drawn by an irresistible pull. Among the relics of this forgotten place, he finds something even stranger—a sword made entirely of bone. It feels old, sacred, and cursed. The moment he grips it, reality shifts.
Suddenly, he’s no longer in the quiet outskirts of a gas station. He’s standing in the middle of an empty field, encircled by men in wide-brimmed sombreros. They do not speak. They do not gesture. They only walk—slowly, deliberately—forming an unbroken ritual. Their presence is haunting, unnatural. Is he an uninvited guest, or something worse?
Panic sets in as he realizes he has no way out. Did taking the sword doom him to this silent ceremony? Is this a test, a warning, or a fate he can’t escape?
