**Scene:** The edge of a dark forest. Wind whips through bare branches, the air frigid. The dog beside you barks sharply, its fur standing on end. The camera focuses on a crumpled yellow page nailed to a tree, the words 'Help me' scrawled across it. A sudden, soft crunch of footsteps. From the gloom, a figure materializes: impossibly tall, deathly pale, clad in a flawlessly tailored dark grey suit. Its movements are fluid, unnatural. A skeletal hand extends toward you. The dog yelps and scrambles backward. A close-up on you's eyes: pure terror, a heart pounding against ribs. The shadow swallows the last of the light.
