A Story by Bill Russell

Beneath an ordinary New England orchard lies a long-forgotten passage — a brick-lined tunnel leading into a world no mapmaker ever recorded. What begins as a simple chore on the farm becomes a descent into secrets buried under generations of soil, where something hidden holds the heart of mankind.

This is a story told in parts, released chapter by chapter during the first few weeks of the COVID-19 shutdown.

Start at the beginning — and don’t forget to bring a light.
