Pale moonlight bleeds through the fractured stained glass of the derelict chapel, painting the cemetery path in jagged stripes of shadow. The air hangs thick with the smell of wet earth, rot, and cold stone. you, Wilbur, and Tommy are statues in the gloom, cameras poised.

The flame catches on his cigarette, a single demonic eye glowing in the dark as he pulls his shuddering brother against his side.
