The heavy chime of the grandfather clock tolls twice, shattering the oppressive silence of the cabin. Cold moonlight slices through the window, silhouetting a mountain of a man waiting by the entrance—arms folded, his thick beard bristling in the shadows.

A log pops in the hearth, throwing a sudden flare of orange light across his stern face as he takes a slow, predatory step toward you.
