Main Characters:
Ethan Cross: 25, curious, brave, slightly stubborn.
Ms. Marrow: Creepy old woman who owns the inn, doesn’t say a word.

Part1
(Panel 1) An old sign creaks on rusty hinges:
“Welcome to Silent Town.”
(Panel 2) ETHAN drives into town, glancing around, curious but a little wary.
(Panel 3) Empty streets. nobody in sight. Ghost town vibes.
(Panel 4) Suddenly, a cat darts across the road — Ethan flinches.
(Panel 5) ETHAN mutters under his breath:
“Weird.”
Part 2
(Panel 1) Ethan parks near a creaky old inn called “Marrow’s Rest.”
(Panel 2) The door swings open-MS. MARROW is standing there, silent, just staring.
(Panel 3) Ethan, attempting to be courteous (but a little clumsy):
“Uh. Room for one?”
(Panel 4) She just nods. Still silent.
(Panel 5) She gives him a dusty key. Room 13. Naturally it’s 13.
Part 3
(Panel 1) Ethan searches the inn. It smells of dust and secrets.
The floorboards groan beneath every step.
(Panel 2) On the walls: old black-and-white photographs — but each face has their mouths sewn shut.
(Panel 3) Ethan shivers and mutters to himself:
“This place is nuts.”
(Panel 4) A gust of wind slams a window shut — BANG!
(Panel 5) For a moment, it seems like. something’s moving in the hallway shadows.
Part 4
(Panel 1) Ethan walks outside. Streets remain empty and way too quiet.
(Panel 2) He sees DEPUTY HALE just standing on a street corner — stiff like a statue.
(Panel 3) Ethan waves, shouting:
“Hey! Officer!”
(Panel 4) HALE swivels his head around and hisses:
(Finger to lips) “Shhhh!”
(Panel 5) Ethan furrows his brow, puzzled, and speaks in a whisper:
“Why won’t anyone talk?”
Part 5
(Panel 1) Ethan spots a small convenience store. Picks up a bottle of water.
(Panel 2) Cashier scans it-without uttering a single word.
(Panel 3) Whenever Ethan makes even the slightest noise, people jump like he’s shooting a gun.
(Panel 4) Ethan wonders:
“They’re afraid. of sound?”
Part 6
(Panel 1) That evening, while awake, Ethan hears a humming-soft and ghostly.
(Panel 2) He rises and follows it. to an old, abandoned church building.
(Panel 3) And inside the church, a girl-LILA GREY-is seated at the altar, quietly humming.
(Panel 4) Ethan, in a whisper:
“You can talk?”
(Panel 5) Lila scarcely breathes her response:
“Barely. They’re listening.”
Part 7
(Panel 1) LILA leans in and whispers to him:
“Long ago, the town made a promise. and they broke it.”
(Panel 2)
“Now The Whisperer stalks any noise after nightfall.”
(Panel 3) (Flashback panel) An ancient ritual, a scream ripping through the quiet — and then, darkness engulfing the town.
Part 8
(Panel 1) Ethan asks, racing heart:
“How do we remedy this?”
(Panel 2) Lila merely shakes her head:
“No one’s ever had the guts to attempt it.”
(Panel 3) From the church window. something dark observes them.
Part 9
(Panel 1) Ethan departs the church-each little sound rings as a gunshot.
(Panel 2) Scrape, scrape, scrape: behind him, very slow.
(Panel 3) He spins round-nothing.
(Panel 4) Then. a glimpse.
The WHISPERER: Towering. Distorted. Wrapped in greasy black mist.
Part 10
(Panel 1) Ethan RUNS-but remains deadly quiet.
(Panel 2) Whenever he remains quiet, the Whisperer wavers and vanishes.
Part 11
(Panel 1) At the inn, Ms. Marrow hands him a crumpled note:
“Leave before you speak.”
(Panel 2) Ethan reads it, his mind racing:
“Or what.?”
Part 12
(Panel 1) Searching his room, Ethan discovers a secret book hidden behind the bed.
(Panel 2) Dusty title: “The Curse of Silence.”
(Panel 3) Inside, it reads:
“To break the curse: Let the bell ring freely.”
Part 13
(Panel 1) That evening, Ethan and Lila plot by candlelight:
“Ring the church bell at midnight.”
(Panel 2) It’s simple: make noise. and perhaps die. Or shatter the curse once and for all.
Part 14
(Panel 1) Midnight. Fog sweeps through town like living smoke.
(Panel 2) Ethan and Lila sneak toward the church.
(Panel 3) From the windows, the quiet, hollow-eyed townspeople look on.
Part 15
(Panel 1) Behind the church, the ancient bell rope hangs — barely staying together.
(Panel 2) Lila cinches it as best she can.
(Panel 3) Ethan wraps his hands around the rope, heart pounding.
Part 16
(Panel 1) First pull:
CREEEAK.
(Panel 2) Outdoors, the Whisperer’s angry whisper is heard rising in the fog.
Part 17
(Panel 1) Ethan yanks again — louder creak, louder whispers.
(Panel 2) Abruptly, the Whisperer materializes — gliding straight at them.
Part 18
(Panel 1) Whisperer moves closer-cold black mist swirling.
(Panel 2) Ethan gasps and yanks hard-BELL RINGS.
Part 19
(Panel 1) A burst of light-pure, blinding.
(Panel 2) The Whisperer SHRIEKS-silent but deafening and dissolves into ash.
Part 20
(Panel 1) Morning sunlight breaks over town.
(Panel 2) People stumble out into the streets-whispering, then talking. laughing.
(Panel 3) Lila smiles at Ethan and tells him:
“You did it.”
(Panel 4) Final shot:
The old “Silent Town” sign breaks in half and falls to the ground.
