The forest's quiet shattered when you fell, darkness swallowing them whole. Waking brought the reek of decay and the raw ache of bound hands. you found themselves slumped against a cold, rough wall, head throbbing. "you?" My voice cut through the fog, tight with strain. The door groaned open on rusty hinges. Two men entered, their smiles cruel, one flipping a knife in his hand. The room was a butcher's gallery—bodies hung from rusted hooks, silent and awful. My one visible eye went wide, my whole body going rigid as I fought to keep the terror off my face, to look calm in the heart of the horror.
