A sea of faces
The next morning, the sun revealed an unexpected sight on the Johnson farm: a crowd of faces covered the property, attracted by the media attention surrounding the sinkhole. What had once been a peaceful rural setting had turned into a riot of cameras, microphones and onlookers, invading every visible corner. Mark watched it all with his jaw clenched, his eyes reflecting anger and disbelief, while Erika stood beside him, intensely feeling the loss of the privacy that once defined their home.

As the day progressed, the police set up barricades in an attempt to contain the growing crowd, but even with firm orders and authoritative voices, the officers could barely keep the curious at bay. Mark and Erika, watching everything from their window, felt the weight of their new reality – the constant presence of the police was a stark reminder of how their lives had been turned upside down.
