SOLIPSISM - WATCHER. DEREK

Jacob Whitlock is a young drifter who carries his troubling childhood with him everywhere he goes. Having run away from home before he turned 18, he was a young man who was trying to find his place in life with no guidance or support along the way. Jacob soon came to find out that there is a hotel in the desert town of Tonopah offering people a free room, meals, and pay to anyone who would come to work for them. The young drifter then embarks on a journey to be one of the first people to make it to the hotel to get a job. Along the way he meets up with a trucker at a diner who drives him to an old gas station along the highway. However, when he got out of the truck and used a bathroom, his ride, the trucker, the gas station, and all evidence of civilization all vanish without a trace. Jacob decides to continue to try to make it to Tonopah by walking there, but along the way Jacob encounters multiple hallucinations of his abusive childhood, as well as a creature from Native American legend that has given reason for man to stay far away from this wilderness for centuries.
