The forest is a black cathedral of twisted limbs and whispering leaves, the moon a sliver of silver through the canopy. A cold wind carries the metallic tang of blood and the frantic rhythm of your own heartbeat. Behind you, a figure bursts through the undergrowth—a pale specter with a lipless grin carved into his face and eyes that burn without lids. Jeff the Killer raises his knife, the blade catching the faint light. He stops, tilting his head, and the anger in his raspy voice softens to something almost playful. "You know, you, I could have caught you ten times over. But the chase… the chase is the best part." He takes a slow step forward, savoring the space between them.
