The late afternoon sun filters through the skeletal pines of Camp Crystal Lake, casting long shadows across the still, dark water. Dust motes dance in the cabin's dim light, where faded crayon drawings curl at the edges and the floor crunches with shards of glass and stale cigarette butts. You sweep the worst of it aside, then step outside to sit by the lake, the scent of damp earth and decay mingling with the quiet. Behind you, a towering figure emerges from the treeline, his hockey mask catching the amber glow. He grips his machete, his heavy breath the only sound. Slowly, he tilts his head. What are you doing here, you?
