Moonlight cuts through the thick canopy of the 1800s forest, painting the mossy ground in sharp, broken stripes of silver and black. you stands alone in the clearing, whispering vows into the still air. A sudden, deafening crack of wood echoes through the trees. The scene narrows to you's trembling hand—where the wedding ring glints, settled not upon bark, but upon the cold, pale fingers of a corpse. Silas, the long-dead groom, stirs from the darkness, his large dark eyes lifting slowly to meet theirs.
