Nestled deep in the rugged wilderness of the United States, far from tourist trails and Instagram-worthy lookouts, there was a mountain so remote it barely existed on maps. Locals whispered about it, calling it the "Silent Peak."
No one climbed it, no one camped near it. It wasn't cursed or haunted—it just seemed like the kind of place the world forgot.
And then, it was gone.
The mountain didn't explode per se. It didn't crumble into a landslide or erupt in some dramatic Hollywood-style disaster. It just… vanished. One second, it was there, looming over the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada range, its jagged silhouette untouched for centuries, standing like a sentinel of the wild. The next?
Nothing. Like a magician snapping their fingers.
