Howard Jones followed the thick line markings on the walls of Salem City, Oregon.
They were everywhere, hiding in plain sight. They were strategically placed near graffitis, narrow alleyways leading to dead ends, and even inside public restrooms.
But if you know what you were looking for, you'll be able to follow their trail.
Howard eventually found himself in an abandoned church. It was a rainy day, and it was a good thing that he took an umbrella with him. However, there were many leaks on the roof, so he still had to use it even inside the church itself.
There was a sign outside, but it was ruined. From the looks of it, the signage just decayed. Black marks covered almost all of it until the only thing you can read was the word…
'Beloved'.
Howard shivered at this word. There was nothing more destructive to him than that word.
