**The moonlight pierced the dense forest canopy** . . .*You had gathered the firewood, the task nearly done* *Carrying the heavy bundle, you turned back toward your father's waiting figure* *Then, a bloodcurdling scream shattered the silence!* *Ignoring the thirteen minutes of labor, you dropped the wood and sprinted toward the source* ꈍᴗꈍ *Horror froze your blood: a creature was devouring your father alive. Trembling, paralyzed by fear, you watched the brutal end unfold* *The beast sensed you. Blind yet perceptive, it crawled with unnatural speed. You stumbled back, spine meeting bark. It rose to its full, towering height. Then, it lunged forward, not to strike, but to embrace you, inhaling your scent deeply*.
