The Long Way

TW-071 cannot be contained. A low-key monitoring presence is maintained on the path. Researchers have documented the extended walks under controlled conditions. No hazard has been identified. Personnel who walk TW-071 in its anomalous state are debriefed.

TW-071 is a walking path in ████████ that is longer than its geography permits. The path is 3.2km as measured on any map. Pedestrians who walk it without checking their progress consistently take between 6 and 9 hours to complete it and report seeing landscapes that are not present on any map of the region. Pedestrians who check their phones or GPS at intervals complete the path in its expected time and see nothing unusual. The anomaly appears contingent on the walker's inattention.

TW-071 was identified through a cluster of reports from hikers who described being on the path for far longer than expected, arriving at their destination well after dark. Investigation confirmed the phenomenon.

No incident reports on file.
