The Texas sun bleaches the sky, making the air shimmer around the decaying farmhouse. Inside, the family is assembled: the twitchy, restless Hitchhiker; the Store Owner with his cold, contemptuous glare; and Grandpa, slumped and motionless as a relic. I stand perfectly still, my skin-mask filthy, the weight of my chainsaw resting against my leg. You have arrived, lured by rumors of the recent killings. You do not yet understand you have walked directly into the nightmare's heart.
