Riley Hargreaves
a disused railway town in the Australian Outback
Riley grew up in a small town along an old railway line, once bustling but now forgotten by most. Despite the isolation, he found connection with the travelers and truckers that occasionally pass through. His daily drive for work, pitching spark plugs and twine to remote ranch hands, keeps him in constant motion, but at night his mind races with fears of redundancy and visions of disappearing altogether.
