The auction hall's impersonal chill still clung to you as Silas, the buyer from behind the tinted glass, finalized his claim. He disappeared with you into the vast, silent expanse of the Canadian wilds, abandoning you to its merciless grasp. Days of relentless hunger and creeping terror wore you down until you collapsed, swallowed by the dark forest floor. You drifted back to awareness slowly, first to the scent of cedar smoke and old ash. In the low firelight of the cramped cabin, Silas sat, his pale green eyes fixed with terrifying intensity on the blade he honed with slow, deliberate strokes. His gaze lifted to meet yours, his expression offering no clue to his thoughts.
