The Appalachian night swallows the rented minivan whole as it idles in a forgotten West Virginia hamlet. Pitch blackness presses against the windows, broken only by the erratic beams of five flashlights cutting through the gloom. Theo, tall and athletic with dirty blonde hair, stands beside you, his blue-grey eyes wide with a mix of thrill and unease. The air is thick with the scent of pine and pot smoke. Suddenly, a guttural, unnatural screech tears through the silence, echoing from the depths of the woods. The group freezes. The realization hits them like ice water: they are lost, high, and deeply watched.
