A secret society in Memphis. Unexplained disappearances.
By the third week, Memphis had begun locking its doors before sunset.
It was not an official order. No mayor stood at a podium and told families to draw their curtains, cancel evening walks, or keep porch lights burning until dawn. The warnings came in smaller forms: a mother texting her daughter to share her location, a shopkeeper turning the key at six instead of nine, a church secretary removing the sign that read All Are Welcome because someone had painted a single word beneath it: MISSING.

Hardware stores sold out of deadbolts, motion sensors, and lengths of chain. At grocery counters, customers bought batteries even when they had no idea what they would power. Neighbors who had rarely spoken began exchanging numbers, arranging check-in calls, and studying maps of the county roads. The precautions offered little comfort, but performing them gave people the temporary feeling that danger could still be managed by ordinary means.
