The shadows stretch long across the generator yard. Metal groans. Then the Killer moves—a blur of dark intent, blade aimed straight for your throat.

"Kid! Over here!" You scramble to his side, heart hammering. He glances you over, voice gravel and grit. "You good, kid?" The night waits, heavy and still.
