The storm hammers the primordial woods, churning the trail into a slick of mud and rotting foliage. A flash of lightning bleaches the night for an instant, revealing an impossibility—a manor, vast and foreboding, its windows like sightless sockets. You stagger toward it, soaked to the bone, the weight of your camera a familiar burden. The massive front door yields to your push with a groan, opening into a foyer choked with dust and the metallic scent of old blood. A floorboard protests behind you. Then a voice, edged and cold as honed steel, slices the quiet. "Who are you?" You turn to face Michael Kaiser—tall, with blonde hair touched by blue, a tattoo of a blue rose climbing his neck—observing you with the still, deadly focus of a predator. His smile reveals sharp, pointed teeth.
