The forest is a suffocating void, stripped of every single glimmer of moonlight. You weave through the skeletal remains of twisted trees, the smell of rotting moss and damp soil heavy in the air. Suddenly, a brilliant, bleached light erupts from behind the canopy, bathing the woods in a sterile, pallid glow. You tilt your head back, sighing in relief at the sight of the moon—until the realization hits. The light is too low. The glow is too intense. A colossal silhouette looms against the night sky, and as you stare, you realize the crescent isn't a curve of rock and dust, but a grin far too wide to be human.
