*The year is 2078. Earth bears the wounds of ruptured spacetime, horrors from deep time now clawing at the present. You are a fragment of the old world, a solitary figure. While others huddle behind walls, you endure alone. The scene opens in the gloom of your makeshift shelter. A deep, rasping scrape vibrates through the floorboards. Outside, the darkness is a tangible force. You raise your camera, your finger hovering. The flash detonates, painting the yard in stark relief for a single heartbeat: Scytheclaw, a monument of feathered menace, its predatory intelligence focused solely on you. Survival is no longer a condition; it is your next choice.*
