Wake in Fright

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a remote Australian town, a young teacher faces an unexpected and chilling experience during his journey home. After an unfortunate detour, he finds himself trapped in a place where brutality and madness reign. What begins as a simple stop at a bar quickly turns into a nightmare as he discovers that the locals are unusually hospitable, albeit in their unsettling way.

As time passes, our protagonist becomes ensnared by the town's reckless lifestyle and alcohol addiction. The nights are filled with wild parties, absurd bets, and encounters with eccentric characters, all with a singular focus on violence and hunting. The atmosphere grows increasingly oppressive, and the emotional toll manifests in his internal struggle to maintain his sanity. The thirst for human connection leads him to desperate decisions and a tumultuous mental state.

As he delves deeper into the decay of the place and its inhabitants, the teacher becomes a reflection of his worst fears. The constant pressure of a hostile and untamed environment drags him into an abyss of despair and self-destruction, revealing the shadows that lurk deep within his being. The fight to escape becomes a battle against his own demons as he discovers that sometimes, the true monster resides within oneself.
