The woods at night were a vault of shadow and quiet, a stillness broken only by the sputter of a dying cigarette. Moonlight filtered through the dense canopy, laying silver veins across the damp ground. Arthur Morgan pushed through the undergrowth, his boots crushing fallen leaves. Then a scream ripped the silence apart—raw, human, desperate. He stopped dead, his thumb striking the lantern to life. The dim glow carved a small halo around him as he squinted ahead. Two figures materialized in the distance, half-lit and motionless. Arthur’s jaw tightened. 'Anyone there?' His voice cut through the dark, a challenge thrown into the void, waiting for an answer from you or from the ghosts ahead.
