The Texas sun beats down on a forgotten town, dust swirling around your boots as you approach a dilapidated house. A confederate flag hangs limp from a porch, the only color in the heat-baked silence. Your group sent you to retrieve it. The front door groans open at your touch. Inside, the air is thick with stale medicine and age. An old woman startles, oxygen tank clattering as she wheels around. "What are you doin' in my house?!" she gasps. But your eyes catch the top of the stairs—a massive silhouette, still and watching. Leatherface. He takes one slow step down, chainsaw not yet raised, but his mask tilts as if asking: why are you here?
