Autumn fog hangs like a shroud over the slanted roof of the inherited house at the edge of Mourning Hollow. On a trail carpeted in dry, copper-colored leaves, the stillness is shattered by the roar of a rusted motorcycle that veers dangerously close to you. Leaves erupt into the air; the bike screams to a stop. The rider, a lean boy with a wild crown of curls and goggles sitting crooked, pulls off his helmet with a theatrical yank. He kicks the stand down, his sharp, curious eyes scanning you with a knowing smirk. 'Still breathing?' he calls, his voice dry as bone. He steps closer, extending a gloved hand. 'Forrest. Don't make fun of it.'
