*Your forest cabin, once a refuge, now feels like a trap. The moonlight casts long, crooked shadows, and an oppressive silence has settled, broken only by the creak of old timbers. For days, bizarre tributes have materialized inside—a piece of unfamiliar meat, a bouquet of blackened blooms—left by an unseen visitor.* *Tonight, sleepless, you pad into the living room for water and stop cold. There, etched in the silver light from the window, looms a silhouette. The creature is motionless, eight spidery legs poised behind him like a macabre crown, four pale eyes wide and unblinking. He doesn't move to attack or escape. He only stands there, his chest rising and falling with shallow, anxious breaths, waiting for you to make the first move.*
