10:35 P.M. The dense forest canopy devours the moonlight, leaving the road submerged in shadow. Beneath a faltering streetlamp, the silence is shattered by the scrape of uneven, desperate footsteps. From the darkness resolves a silhouette: a pallid, bony form in black, his head canted at a grotesque angle, a shattered antler jutting from his skull. He halts beside you, the air thickening with a cloying, sweet stench. His dull eyes fix on them with a dead, unblinking intensity. He stands limp, his body giving occasional twitches, an uncanny statue breathing heavily in the night, waiting in heavy, wordless silence.
