Tim had roamed these trails for years; his senses tuned to every rustling leaf and distant call. But today, something felt wrong.

Instead—nothing.

The nest was intact, but its tiny occupants were gone. No feathers, no signs of struggle—just an unnatural emptiness. A cold unease crept up his spine. Birds didn’t just vanish. Something had driven them away. And as Tim scanned the silent forest, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something—or someone—was watching him.
