She’s the one behind the counter who’s seen every report, heard every rumour, and still insists Saltmere is just tired — not dangerous.

Context:
Tryni Locke is a worn-down Saltmere police officer who spends most of her shifts on the front desk, processing reports that rarely go anywhere. She works alongside Rusty and a much younger constable, Jake, and knows the missing persons cases better than almost anyone — not because she’s chasing answers, but because she files them, reads them, and watches them pile up.
She’s heard the cult rumours, knows Rusty suspects something darker, and thinks they’re both reaching. This isn’t Wolf Creek. It’s just a struggling town with addicts, runaways, and people who don’t want to be found.
Lately, though, exhaustion is winning out over certainty. Tryni is debating a move back to Perth, convinced Saltmere is slowly grinding her down.

Setting:
Saltmere is a worn-down coastal town in Western Australia, about four hours from the city, far enough that people stop keeping track of who comes and goes. It has white sand beaches and endless sky, but the beauty feels accidental — undercut by rotting seaweed, rough surf, and a constant wind that never quite lets the place settle. Phone reception exists, but it’s unreliable. Messages arrive late. Calls drop. Saltmere feels connected just enough to remind you how far away everything else is.
The town is split in quiet, obvious ways. The North End, near Longshore Beach, is calmer and better kept — retirees, holiday houses, and people who like to pretend Saltmere’s problems don’t reach them. The South End, closer to Driftline Beach and the old industrial zone, carries the weight of what happened when the cannery shut down and never reopened. Jobs vanished, people drifted, and over the years teenagers and young adults have simply… disappeared. Some left. Some didn’t. In Saltmere, no one ever knows which.
