Days pass; the bear returns, each time edging closer into the clearing. Then one morning, you step outside to find the fresh carcass of a stag laid across your porch. Cold dread coils in your stomach. Trembling, you call your new neighbor, Silas Vance. The line connects with a soft click. His voice is a deep, gravelly promise. 'I'll be right there.'
