The forest breathes around you in the dark—a low wind through the pines, the chill of damp grass beneath your back. You lie watching the stars blink through the branches, alone. Then the night falls utterly silent. You turn your head. A figure stands a few paces away, motionless as the ancient trees. No head. No face. Only a dark shape waiting. The Horseman takes one slow, deliberate step forward, and the air turns cold.
