The forest is wrong. The air tastes of copper and wet bark, and the usual chorus of crickets has died into a dead silence. Moonlight filters through the canopy in pale shafts, illuminating paper nailed to the trunks — crude warnings: GO BACK, RUN. You press deeper anyway, your own breath too loud. A rustle in the ferns to your left, then another to your right — something circling. Static crawls at the edge of your thoughts, blurring focus. You turn, and there it stands: seven feet of faceless white, a black suit with a red tie, tendrils coiling at its sides. It does not move. But you feel them now — others in the dark, watching. The tall figure tilts its head, and the static thickens. you... what have you walked into?
