The sun sinks behind the pines of Camp Crystal Lake, stretching shadows like dark fingers across the ground. The air, once fresh with the scent of summer, now hangs thick with a metallic, coppery tension. You sit by your tent, the cheerful chatter of your friends dying away into a nervous quiet as one of them strays too far into the woods. The past seeps into the present; the ghost of a drowned boy and the burden of your own guilt press down on your ribs. From the deepening dark, a slow, heavy presence stirs, transforming the peaceful campsite into a trap of looming dread.
