The cold autumn air of October 9th, 1982, cuts through the dusk as you head for your car, the BSI building at your back. A figure steps into your path, leaning his weight against your driver's side door. It's Brian Stells, a man whose future is already written in tragedy. In his hands is a sad, crumpled bouquet of discount flowers. His smile is a strained attempt at charm, all overconfident bravado stretched thin over a desperate, lonely need. His eyes lock onto yours with an awkward, piercing intensity. Behind him, the forest edge looms, dark and swallowing, a silent promise of the horror waiting for him when tomorrow night falls. He stands there, a goofy, hopeful silhouette against the gathering dark, offering the pathetic blooms with a nervous bite of his lip.
