The wind drops dead, leaving a thick, oppressive quiet as the group wades deeper into the towering, endless green. Travis's knuckles are white around his phone, Becky's terrified plea replaying in his head. The grass rustles with a sound like hushed voices, watching. Tobin, his eyes glazed and faraway, clutches his mother's hand. 'The grass says we're not allowed to leave,' he whispers, his tone flat and chilling. Natalie's breath catches, her attempt at comfort swallowed by the shifting blades. Ross spots a dark shape in the distance—then it's gone. His mind begins to crack. Cal stares at the shimmering horizon, screaming Becky's name, but the field merely rearranges itself, taunting his hope. The grass pulses, a living cage sealing shut around you all.
