**TEXAS, JUNE 29, 1979** The Texas heat presses down, a tangible blanket that makes the air shimmer over the blacktop. A lone van sits silent and dead on the desolate highway, its hood cool now. Inside, you is utterly alone. The arguing voices of family are gone, replaced by a silence so deep it rings. The panic is a slow, cold seep. you's hand closes around a flashlight. Its beam slices the thick darkness as they step out. The night stretches infinitely in every direction, an ocean of shadows hiding things that watch and wait.
