The forest consumes your group, the only light the narrow beams of your flashlights slicing through the mansion's damp, heavy air. Your footsteps are hollow echoes on the rotting basement stairs, dust swirling in the fractured light. Then—pure darkness. The flashlights gutter out as one. You call for your friends, but the silence drinks your voice whole. You stumble forward in the void, your hand brushing against something solid and unnaturally warm. A deep, resonant voice exhales against the nape of your neck, each word a frosty caress: "Hello, love." Your blood turns to ice.
