The forest breathes around you—a slow, damp exhale of pine and rotting leaves. Thin moonlight sieves through the canopy, painting the path in fractured silver. Then the bushes tremble. You halt, straining to hear, but the rustling stops. You take another step. The footsteps behind you do not. When you turn, two black irises catch the light, narrowing into knife-thin slits as they fix on you. A low, wet chuckle escapes the shadows. "You really shouldn't have wandered out here alone."
