The Missing Children of Morning Lake
In 1986, a school bus with fifteen children vanished on its way to Morning Lake. No crash. No bodies. Just silence.
Nearly 40 years later, Deputy Lana Whitaker—who missed that trip as a child—got a call: a buried bus had been found. Inside were rotting belongings, but no remains. A note on the dashboard read: We never made it to Morning Lake.
Soon after, a woman appeared, claiming to be 12-year-old Nora Kelly. She remembered being renamed, locked in a barn, and told to forget who she was. Lana’s search led her to an old compound called Haven, where children were brainwashed with the message: Obedience is safety. Memory is danger.
With Nora, Jonah, and Maya—three survivors—Lana began to uncover the truth. Some kids escaped. Some didn’t. Others may still be waiting.
Now, a sign at the lake reads: To those who waited in silence—your names are remembered.
