Camp Cheyenne
Camp Cheyenne was once a quiet woodland retreat where families pitched tents beneath the pines, young couples rented cabins by the lake, fishermen rose before dawn, and weekend travellers came looking for peace beside the black water. Then came the disappearances. Then the fire. Then the rumours of the man who should have died there.
Years later, the camp lies abandoned behind rusted gates and rotting signs, its cabins collapsing into the trees, its shower blocks streaked with mould, its empty pitches swallowed by weeds. Locals still speak of the place in lowered voices. They say the old Cheyenne grounds are cursed. They say the woods remember every scream. They say Harlan Rusk died in the fire that closed the camp forever.
They are wrong.
When a group enters Camp Cheyenne to uncover the truth behind its violent history, they expect ruins, old stories, and the thrill of trespassing somewhere forbidden. What they find is a hunting ground. The roads out are cut off, the lake offers no escape, and the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that someone has been waiting among the cabins for a very long time.
Harlan Rusk is not a ghost. He is not a campfire tale. He is flesh, scar tissue, rage, and silence. Declared dead years ago and left to rot in the legend the town built around him, he has survived in the forgotten places of Camp Cheyenne, guarding its secrets with a maul in his hands and blood in the mud beneath his boots.
As night falls, the old campground becomes a slaughterhouse. One by one, the trespassers discover the truth buried beneath the official story, but truth means little when the trees are thick, the water is black, and Harlan Rusk is already moving through the dark.
Camp Cheyenne is closed for the season. This time, no one is supposed to leave.
