I’ll…I’ll find the words. Yes, the words…they’ll come. They always do. But not today, no. Not today.
I can’t. I have to finish it. They won’t let me stop. They…they’re always whispering.

(spoken fast) Oh, but you are listening, aren’t you? You can’t shut me out. You’ll never escape the truth. The more you fight, the more tangled you get in your own words.
You thought you could escape. You thought you could escape the story. The story never ends.

It’s never enough, is it? The story’s never finished. You’ll fail.
It’s too late now. You’re part of it. You can’t escape the words. They are you . You’ll never be free.

Who, darling? Who’s lying to you?
It’s okay, love. You’ve been at it for hours. Maybe…maybe you need a break.
Don’t push your luck. I can only deal with so many snakes in one lifetime.
Male. 30s-40s. A young missionary Firm in his beliefs
- male adult
The Gadianton spirits…they’re always watching, always waiting. They want us to doubt, to turn from our faith, to let greed into our hearts.
No, Elder. Don’t listen. That’s what they want. Resist. Do not let your heart be swayed.
Female. 20s-30s. A seasoned missionary, wise and observant
- female adult
The Lord works in mysterious ways, Elder Thatcher. Maybe this wilderness is where we’re meant to be right now.
It’s not about belief, Elder. It’s about discernment. We have to be vigilant, especially in places like these.
Male. 20s-30s. The skeptical companion, still unsure about many aspects of faith
- male adult
Why are we out here in the middle of nowhere, in the freezing cold, anyway? This isn’t even part of our area. We should be back in the city, teaching people, not... freezing in the wilderness
I’ll be okay. I’ll be okay. I know this is a test. I just have to remember who I am and who I’m doing this for.
Male. 30s-40s. A local guide, an older man with a strong testimony,
- male adult
They prey on that which is weak. If your heart’s not prepared, you’ll be consumed by them. Trust me, I’ve heard things that can’t be explained.
Safe isn’t the word I’d use. But at least inside, we’ll have some shelter from the wind. The shadows out here…they can play tricks on your mind. Best not to give them the chance.
Any Sex. Mid to late 20s.

Not gonna talk, huh? chuckles I guess that’s normal. I assume you’ve never been to Utah
I know I’m right. You seem like a good kid. And yea, maybe you’re not as messed up as the rest of these kids, but either way you’re here, aren’t you?
Male. Older Teen.

I’m a good kid! So what if I skipped a few classes? It doesn’t mean I deserve this.
Living with him is like Chinese water torture…nothing too painful, or severe, but over time you’re slowly driven mad.
Male. 30-40s. Indiana Jones wannabe
- male adult
Safe’s boring. You don’t find treasures in safe places. Besides, danger’s part of the fun.
It’s fine. These tombs are designed to scare you…mess with your head. Don’t let it. We’re taking what we came for and leaving.
Any sex. 40s to 60s. Intelligent, Witty
- male adult
- female adult
No, but it’s an interesting story. A bit too close for comfort…sounded like someone I know…
There is always a treasure in a story…but sometimes, it’s not the gold or the jewels that are the real prize. Sometimes, it’s the journey, the people, and the lessons you learn along the way.
