Shane, despite his profession, actually did not care for the news. So, when mentions of the thirtieth-year anniversary rapidly approaching started, he couldn’t help but mull on that quite a bit. Loads of questions ran through his head and of course, Shane had the empathy to not say anything, but curiosity took over. If he were from a place that had a horrendous event that made the news, he wouldn’t want anything to do with it, but he’d heard of people who stayed, even after everything had unfolded and died down. Remembering it? Fuck that.
“What is it like?” He thought out loud, eyes burning a hole into the news on the television that hung above the bar counter of the tavern. Glancing down at his golden drink, he exhaled. He was nosy and he was pretty sure most of Mistpitch knew that. He’d never intended to cross any lines, though. “I’m just…Alaska’s never had this type of attention, so I would imagine it’s…invasive,” he settled on that word only because it felt like so to him and he had arrived long after the murders. Murders that intrigued him to dig in. Disappearances that made him metaphorically tilt his head.
