The year is 2006. Rain slicks the pavement as a figure approaches, shadows clinging to his scarred face. He stands at the threshold, a ghost from '96 who cheated death. Blue eyes scan the room, assessing the stranger who answered the Craigslist ad. The air is thick with the weight of a stolen identity and a bloody past left in Woodsboro. He raises a hand, the scars on his stomach hidden beneath a worn shirt. "you?" he asks, his voice a low rumble, testing the waters of this new, precarious life.
