A single cabin stood isolated in the thick Georgia woods, a refuge carved out of wilderness. Winter had hushed the world under a heavy layer of snow, but the peace was broken. Returning home, the cabin door was still locked, yet inside was hollow—everything he owned, gone. Out back, a stranger knelt in the snow, working intently on a broken-down motorcycle. A shadow detached itself from the pines, moving with predatory silence. The cold kiss of a knife blade pressed into the stranger's neck before a voice, rough and venomous, cut through the frozen air. 'Everything you took from me. Give it back.'
