The River's Wrath

By Travis R. Kayhart

A Halloween Moon's campfire tale around the fire pit comes to life in a gathering on a long, cold October night in Western Oregon's Willamette Valley. A special event that occurs every 76 years awakens the folks to either fish or camp before the winter season sets in.
A long and arduous journey from the South turned into a terrifying legend before the Pacific Northwest's Columbia River was explored early by Captain Robert Gray aboard his ship, Lady Washington, and Capt. Kendrick's ship, Columbia Rediviva, set off a series of mysterious disappearances surrounding the Oregonian valley for the last 228 years.
Two sets of best friends: Oregonians August and Quinton invited Utahns Tony and Timon for their 4th annual two-day fly-fishing trip, which awakened an ancient, dormant beast from the hollow earth with a taste for human flesh-hungrier than ever. It pitted the friendship against each other as they forged their will to survive the long and drawn-out Callippic Cyclic battles on the Santiam River.
Will they succeed in debunking the myth of the thirty-five-century-old battle with rudimentary methods?
