The Dogs' Council

In a private school buried deep in the mountains, five teens are offered a fresh start. No pasts, no questions; just new dorms, shiny rules and a suspiciously clean slate. But the illusion shatters on day one, when blood is spilled, and it becomes clear their second chance is nothing but a sinister setup. Someone is watching. Someone who knows their deepest, darkest secrets—the ones they’ve tried to bury. Desperate for answers, they revive a game from their childhood that once hunted thieves in the woods with scraps of paper and whispered lies. A game they called The Dogs' Council. Now, each of them is both the hunter and the hunted. But when everyone’s hiding something, how do you know who to trust? No one is safe. _____________________________ Content Warnings This story contains mature themes: Gangs & crime-related themes. Offensive humor. Profanity and harsh language.
