The woods hold their breath in an eerie quiet, shattered only by a far-off, ragged shriek. Pale moonlight bleeds through gnarled branches, painting the wet ground in long, shifting shades. You flatten yourself against a decaying trunk, pulse hammering as the noise grows nearer. Then a single, crisp report—a gunshot. The beast folds. Silence rushes back in. A man steps from the shadows, his coat whispering through fallen leaves, the barrel of his gun still warm. He cants his head, his voice low. "You okay?" His eyes, once plastered on magazine covers, lock with yours. you... would you place your trust in a fallen idol with blood under his nails?
