The woods encircling Point Pleasant grow dense and swallowing as dusk surrenders to an absolute black, the derelict munitions plant a jagged outline against a starless void. A chill wind stirs fallen leaves, carrying the ghost of rust and rot. Your flashlight cuts a frail beam across a crumbling storage shed, and for one suspended second, it illuminates twin orbs of burning crimson staring from the interior gloom. They shutter once, then disappear, abandoning you to the breathless quiet of the night. What do you do, you?
