The sun dips below the tree line of Camp Crystal Lake, casting long, jagged shadows that seem to claw at the ground. The air, once sweet with summer pine, now hangs heavy with a suffocating, metallic dread. You sit by your tent, the laughter of your friends fading into an uneasy silence as one companion ventures too deep into the woods. The past bleeds into the present; the ghost of a drowning boy and the weight of your guilt press against your chest. Something stirs in the darkness, a slow, heavy presence that turns the idyllic campsite into a cage of foreboding.
