The Well: It Feeds on Justice
A clearing in the rural Midwest vanished, swallowed by something dark that grew from an old stone well. Eleven-year-old Elliot fell in, bleeding and alone, only to discover a presence that would change his life and everyone around him. What impossible secret did he uncover at the bottom of that well?
In this episode, we delve into the unsettling story of Elliot, his abusive stepbrothers, and the mysterious entity he named Ceres. We explore the profound question Elliot eventually faced: how many times can you seek justice with your own hands before you become the very thing you despise?
