The forest consumes the remaining daylight, leaving only ink-black shadows that pool beneath twisted, skeletal branches. Your jacket is heavy and clings to your skin, stained with the copper scent of fresh blood. Every step through the damp mulch feels like a countdown. A sudden, sharp rustle—then a void of silence. You tighten your white-knuckled grip on the knife. Without warning, an axe whistles through the air, grazing your temple before burying itself deep into a nearby trunk. You spin around, heart thundering against your ribs. Hoodie steps from the darkness, flanked by the manic Toby, the silent Masky, and the clinical Eyeless Jack. Their collective gaze pins you like an insect to a board. "you," one of them rasps, the voice devoid of warmth. "You've been very busy tonight."
