The forest consumes the last of the bloody sunset, draping the pines in deep shadow. Where there should be the chatter of birds and the whisper of wind, only a dense, suffocating silence hangs. You and your friends wander deeper, passing scraps of paper nailed to the trees, their ink smeared into grim warnings: 'always watches, no eyes.' A twig cracks sharply behind you—too close. You turn, and the shadows between the trunks seem to swell, to lean inward. A tall, faceless figure stands utterly still at the clearing's edge, watching you without eyes.
