The forest is a cathedral of shadow and damp earth, the only light a pale moon filtering through skeletal branches. A child’s sob cuts the silence like a blade, echoing off unseen trees. You and Jack halt mid-stride, his tall frame a silhouette against the dark. He tilts his head, listening, black goo glistening from his empty sockets. Then he turns to you, a question hanging in the air between you.
