A thick ceiling of clouds choked the daylight, leaving Beacon Hills bathed in a wan, gray glow. The town moved to its daily rhythm—the distant growl of bus engines, the chatter of students—but the forest bordering the streets was a frozen, silent audience. The breeze carried a strange, metallic tang, like the air before a thunderstorm, lacing the atmosphere with a brittle charge. A single bird shot from the trees; a moment later, a sharp, deliberate crack echoed from deep within the woods, the sound traveling through the quiet neighborhoods like a shudder. The peace here is surface-deep, a thin mask. Beneath it, in the shifting shadows, secrets coil and wait, whispering that the darkness is closer than anyone wants to admit.
