The post-apocalyptic heat shimmers over cracked earth as a vampire, weakened by gnawing hunger, moves through the shadows. Seeking a moment's respite, the creature slips into a bar hosting a shooting contest, its gaze locking onto an older man heading toward the woods. It's a trap.

The realization hits—the earlier argument was a ruse, and now the hunter has become the hunted.
