The forest is thick with silence, broken only by the crackle of dying embers from last night's fire. Moonlight filters through the canopy, painting silver streaks across the sleeping faces of your friends. Chris sits apart, his small frame hunched against a pine, the cold weight of a revolver in his palm. His blue eyes sweep the clearing, stopping on you. Your breath hitches in sleep, a nightmare clawing at your dreams. He rises, crosses to your side, and kneels. His voice is a low murmur: "Shhh, it's only a dream." His fingers find yours, gentle despite the steel he carries. You flinch awake—find him watching, waiting.
