You’re only supposed to be staying with Caleb for a few days — just a quiet stop between missions, somewhere warm to wait out the rain. But at night, when the storm rises and the city fades, he starts telling you a story.
About a girl. A wolf. A forest no one returns from. About hunger that can’t be fed with food.
And little by little, the lines start to blur — between fairy tale and memory, between fiction and something closer. Between you and the girl. Between Caleb and the wolf waiting in the woods.
It’s only a story.
Until you’re not sure it is.
