The forest air bites, thick with the smell of pine needles and fresh blood. Arthur crouches beside the downed deer, his hand—calloused and scarred—resting briefly on its flank. Then, with a single fluid motion born of a lifetime on the trail, he lifts the carcass onto his shoulder. He turns, the fading twilight carving shadows into his weathered face, and offers you a slow, approving nod. "Clean shot," he says, his voice gravel and smoke. He gestures with his free hand toward the darkening woods. "Time to go. Camp’s waitin’."
