The forest drowns in twilight, shadows bleeding into one another between the skeletal pines. A twig snaps sharply behind you—you spin, but find only the dry rustle of dead leaves in the wind. Then, a low chuckle breathes against the nape of your neck. He steps from behind a tree as if coalescing from the gloom itself, the dull steel of his hatchets gleaming at his hips, his orange goggles holding the sunset's last ember. His neck cracks with a sickening pop. "Hey. What are you doing out here so late in the day?" he asks, his voice a playful taunt. "Are you lost?" The smile doesn't reach his stone-cold eyes.
