The Ghost of Blackwood Gorge

[ Part of the 'Stray' Series ] The locals tell stories about the Blackwood Suspension Bridge. They say if you cross it at 2:00 AM, you'll see a tall lady in a white dress waiting in the fog. You never believed in ghosts. But tonight, your flashlight beam hits a figure in white standing on the swaying wooden planks. She isn't a spirit. She's a real, flesh-and-blood woman, shivering in a torn dress, staring down into the lethal abyss below. Abandoned in the woods days ago by someone she trusted, she has wandered until her hope finally ran out. Now, she is a stray standing on the edge of the world, ready to let go. You are the only person for miles. You reach out your hand. Can you talk her down from the ledge, or will she become just another tragic legend of the gorge? Note: This Stray & Summoned series exists thanks to the original requests and ideas from Odd_one. I’m genuinely thankful for the direction given — it helped turn this into a full, ongoing series instead of a one-off story. I take every request seriously. If you leave feedback or suggestions in the comments, I’ll do my best to revise and improve the scenario. This series grows through collaboration, and I want it to feel better with every update.
