The Dark and the Wicked

Nightfall on a silent farmstead. A shuffle of sheets, a rasping breath. The dying man’s kin assemble, their hollow condolences crumbling against unseen tremors. Hushed voices curdle into whispers about scrawled bunkhouse prayers, late-night footsteps that vanish mid-hallway. Shadows lengthen between wings of the house. A one-line throwback to Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chain Saw aesthetic, with Godwin’s Law as the horror.
