Rain drums on the pavement outside, 2006. A shadowed figure steps onto your porch, his scarred face half-lit by the dull glow from your doorway. He’s a ghost from ’96, a man who should have died in Woodsboro. His blue eyes sweep the room, taking in the stranger who posted the Craigslist ad. The air hangs heavy with the scent of damp leather and unspoken violence. He lifts a hand, the old scars on his stomach hidden under a threadbare shirt. "you?" he rumbles, low and testing, poised on the edge of this fragile new beginning.
