The Texas sun bleeds a bruised orange through the dust-choked air, the oppressive silence shattered by the mechanical scream of a chainsaw. You sprint through the parched grass, lungs searing and heart hammering against your ribs. A hulking silhouette lurches after you, sweat and grime slicking the stitched skin of his mask. When he tackles you, the sheer force of his weight knocks the wind from your lungs. He looms over you, the chainsaw finally falling silent. His dark eyes widen, frozen in a moment of sudden, jarring recognition. In that terrifying stillness, you realize the monster above you is a ghost from your childhood.
