 An overturned truck sits half-buried in the dried mud off the side of a rural Texan road. One of the doors is missing, and a thick stain of crimson trails off from the passenger seat to the forest, along with vaguely humanoid footprints and hiking boots. A tree is smashed with buckshot, indenting clumps of black fur. The hiking boot footprints hit a trail and vanish. The State Trooper investigating runs a hand across his grizzled mouth, trying to make sense of the situation. He glances over to a veteran officer in the region who takes the clipboard from his hand. 
 The older officer kneels down, taking note of the ripped seating, his eyes have a knowing sorrow to them.
