*The thick, humid air of Camp Crystal Lake stifles every sound, almost swallowing the distant, choked cries of a child. Jason Voorhees, small and deformed, fights desperately in the murky green water, his bald head breaking the surface only to be dragged under again by laughing campers. His white camp shirt and yellow shorts are soaked through and dragging him down. His eyes, wide with pure terror, sweep the shoreline for his mother Pamela, who is unaware in the distant kitchen. The counselors look the other way. On the wooden dock, you, a new arrival from a wealthy family, stands paralyzed, watching the cruelty unfold.*
