Game Trail — Fexingo Horror

In the late autumn of 2009, Luna's uncle disappeared while hunting a wounded buck in the woods around Lost Creek, a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania. Days later, search teams found nothing but his orange vest and a half-eaten apple. But Luna's cousin, a game warden, noticed something strange at the edge of the tree line: a wooden sign, freshly hammered into the frozen ground, that had not been there before. The words on it were not English. Over the next week, three more signs appeared, each closer to the town center. By the time anyone thought to ask the old-timers, the cold had set in for good. No one in Lost Creek speaks about what they saw written on that last sign.

Luna recounts a winter night in 2017 on a remote stretch of Vermont highway known as Dead Man's Curve, where a stranded driver's desperate knock on a stranger's door led to an encounter with something that wore a familiar face but had no memory of its own body. A story about hunger, forgetting, and the unbearable lightness of being almost human.

Luna tracks a deer through the high desert of Nye County, Nevada, on the morning after a heavy snow. The blood trail leads her deeper into a canyon she's never seen on any map. She finds a cabin — old, rock, door open — and inside, a man who has been waiting for someone to ask what he saw up on the mesa. He tells her about the figure that walked out of a lightning strike, about the hole in the sky that didn't close, about the thing that followed him down. She leaves before dark, but the canyon walls seem longer than they were. The stars don't look right. And she can't stop thinking about his last sentence: 'I didn't see it leave.'

It's deer season in the Monongahela National Forest, and Luna is tracking a wounded doe along Henshaw Grade when she finds a trap that shouldn't be there — an old rusted leg-hold, tagged with a number that leads to a man who went missing in 1987. She follows the chain deeper into the woods, past a collapsed cabin, past a pile of deer skulls arranged in a spiral, until she realizes the trap was never meant for animals. The thing that set it is still checking its lines. And it knows she's there.

It was November, just after first light, and Luna was tracking a wounded doe along Leakey Grade — a gravel road that cuts through the Sam Houston National Forest. The blood trail led her off the road, into the cedars, and down into a dry creek bed where she found something that should not have been there. A hunting dog, a blue tick coonhound, sitting perfectly still on a flat rock. No collar. No tags. Just waiting. When Luna got closer, the dog stood up and walked deeper into the brush, and she followed it because that is what you do when you have a rifle and you think the animal is leading you to your deer. But the dog was not leading her to anything she had killed. It led her to a campsite that had been abandoned for years — a rusted-out truck frame, a tent half-collapsed, a fire ring full of ash and bone. And then the dog sat down again, looked at her, and opened its mouth to speak. This is a story about the things we follow into the woods, and what follows us back out.

In the winter of 2019, a fire lookout named June vanished from the Colby Grade tower in the Monongahela National Forest. She left behind a logbook, a half-drunk thermos of coffee, and a single entry that read: 'They're not bears.' I found the tower six months later, boarded up but not sealed. The stairs groaned under my boots. The window glass was cracked from the inside. The logbook still sat on the desk, open to the last page, and the handwriting changed halfway down—smaller, faster, slanting left. I copied the entry into my own notebook before I left, and I've been trying to forget it ever since. This is what it said.

November 2021. Sutter Grade, Montana. A two-lane blacktop that cuts through the Lolo National Forest, barely a line on the map. I drove it because the detour around a washed-out bridge added ninety minutes, and I had a freezer full of elk meat that needed to reach Missoula by morning. The cold that night was the kind that gets inside your bones and stays there. I saw a man standing next to a pickup truck with its hood up, no coat, no gloves, just standing there like he'd been waiting for hours. He didn't say much. He didn't need to. What he showed me in the bed of that truck was alive, and it was breathing, and it was not an animal. This is a story about what happens when you stop for someone on a road that doesn't want you there. About the thing that followed me home. And about the sound I still hear some nights, just outside the tree line, when the wind is right.

Luna recalls a winter night in 1996, when she was nineteen and working the register at a gas station outside Dunmore, West Virginia. A man in a brown coat came in just before midnight, bought a cup of coffee, and left footprints in the linoleum that never dried. Over the next hour, she watched him walk the same loop outside the station—around the pumps, past the payphone, back into the dark—each time leaving the same wet prints, even as the snow stopped falling. The deputy who stopped by said there was no man, only prints leading into the woods, and when she went home that morning, she found a single step of wet mud on her porch, facing her door. No closure, just the shape of a boot that never belonged to anyone she knew.

October 1998. Luna is called to a stretch of dirt track called Marrowbone Ridge, outside the town of Alder Creek, where a hunter named Tom Grady has been missing for three days. His truck is found idling at the dead end, door open, rifle still on the seat, and a drag mark leading into the woods that stops dead at a split-rail fence—where the snow on the other side is completely undisturbed. Luna walks the trail with the game warden, finding a single boot, a campsite from the 1800s, and something that was waiting for Tom to come home. This is a story about a line you don't cross, a hunger that remembers your name, and the man who walked right up to the edge and kept going.

Luna recalls a November evening in 2019, just outside the town of Balsam Springs, where a man named Roy Darden claimed his cattle were being taken one by one—not by wolves, not by rustlers, but by something that moved through the flooded timber without leaving tracks. She drove out to his property at dusk, rifle across her lap, and waited where the fence line met the black water. What she saw that night changed how she reads sign in a marsh. No blood, no fur, no hoofprints—just footprints coming up from the muck, drying on the grass, and a low sound like a bullfrog with a human throat. This is a story about pastureland, wet boots, and the shape of a thing that walks on two legs but doesn't break the surface.
