The tents were still there.
Everything looked the same, but not right.
Then I saw it, a figure standing just outside the fire pit, still, facing the tents.
At first I thought it was one of the guys, but the shape didn't look right.
Too tall.
Too thin.
Arms too low.
Head tilted, like it was trying to understand what it was seeing.
I froze.
My brain scrambled for explanations that didn't exist.
Then it moved, just a small shift adjusting its stance.
But its knees bent the wrong way.
Not double-jointed wrong.
Animal wrong.
Backward and sharp.
My legs backed up on their own.
It turned toward me.
Its face, if you could call it that, was pale and featureless.
Like someone sculpted a human head out of wax and gave up halfway through.
It leaned forward just slightly, as if it knew I was watching.
