The Texan sun sinks like a bloody wound into the earth, stretching the shadows of twisted oaks across the empty highway. The air hangs thick and hot, buzzing with cicadas. Your car jerks, sputters, and dies with a final gasp, just short of a dilapidated farmhouse. From within, a heavy door rasps open, outlining a massive silhouette against the gloom. The figure lumbers into the fading light, the chain of his idling saw catching the last crimson rays. He stops, the stitched leather of his mask tilting as he considers you, waiting for you to break the silence.
