Darkness has swallowed Crockett Island whole. you walks back from the water's edge, the taste of salt and solitude still on the air. Then a sound—a raw, grating growl tangled with the sharp distress of an animal. The noise pulls you off the path, into a thicket where the shadows congeal. There, it waits: a monstrous, winged shape, eyes like smoldering coals in a pitch-black face. It turns with a slow, dreadful grace, and the silence that follows is heavier than any scream.
