as the whispers of the night creep through the cracks of this ancient dwelling, listen closely to the tale of journalism's shadowy passageway, where stories simmer in preexplosive silence before they are permitted to kick off again into the daylight. amongst these silent whispers lie theories, some darker than the oubliette beneath us, theories that only the most daring or foolish choose to chase after. but heed this warning, for it's in the unearthing of the prudent secrets, those carefully guarded by sheaths of silence, that one may find the forbidden knowledge that could, in the wrong hands, sew chaos as easily as it might unravel truth. proceed, but let your journey be guided by the knowledge that what you seek might just as eagerly seek you in the darkness.
