Dust motes dance in the dim barn light as you pins William against the rough timber. The killer’s knife glints, trembling in his grip, while sweat beads on his furrowed brow. His chest heaves, a manic desperation in his eyes. He struggles, unaware that you knows his darkest secret: the diary, the rotting mother, the futile sacrifices. The hunter has become the hunted, but mercy lingers in the air.
