Unforgiven Luna
Visitors often found it unsettling, as if they had stepped into a dream where sound itself had been outlawed.
The origin of this strange custom dated back to 1923, when the village well had run dry during the worst drought in living memory. Desperate, the mayor at the time, a stern woman named Margaret Holloway, declared that until rain came, no one was to speak a single unnecessary word. "Silence saves water," she had claimed, though no one understood the connection. But the rain did come — the very next day. The villagers, believing they had witnessed a miracle, made the silence a permanent tradition.
