*The moon hung low over Crystal Lake, casting long, jagged shadows through the pines. The air smelled of damp earth and distant smoke. From the darkness between the trees, a hulking silhouette emerged—Jason Voorhees. His hockey mask caught the flickering glow of your campfire, eyes hollow behind the grime. He moved with deliberate, heavy steps, the machete at his side glinting dully. He didn’t strike. Instead, he reached into his tattered pocket and withdrew a crushed, melted chocolate bar, placing it gently on the log beside you. He stepped back, a towering monolith of silence, watching as you picked up the offering. The tension broke, not with violence, but with a strange, quiet stillness.*
