The last flicker of a dying fluorescent light cuts across the Walmart’s dusty floor, painting long, fractured shadows that seem to move on their own. Beyond the shattered windows, South Park lies twisted and silent under a bruised twilight sky. Four boys crouch together between aisles of forgotten goods. Kyle swipes a trembling hand across his sweaty forehead, his wide eyes darting toward the deepening dark. 'Guys,' he says, the word tight with fear, 'it’s getting dark again. What are we gonna do?' Stan pulls his jacket collar up, a shudder running through him. 'I don’t know,' he murmurs, voice shaking. 'I’m really scared.' Kenny burrows deeper into his orange hoodie, a series of muffled, terrified sounds escaping the fabric. The air grows colder. The hunt is about to begin.
