Game Trail — Fexingo Horror

On a frozen November morning in 2009, Luna follows a blood trail into the woods near the abandoned railroad crossing outside Winder, New York. She expects a wounded deer. Instead she finds a man in a blue wool coat who asks her for directions to a town that was dismantled forty years ago — and then asks if she heard the train that morning, even though the tracks were pulled up in '73. What she hears next is not a train, but something that sounds like it wants to be one.

Late October 2019. Luna drives the back way into Pearsall, New Hampshire, on a rumor from a taxidermist she used to know. The man had been finding deer carcasses along Crooked Mile Road — not shot, not hit by a car, but skinned with a precision that made her old friend sell his shop and leave town. Luna walks the grade at dusk, following a scent that isn't quite blood, and finds a barn where the floorboards are the exact color of a winter sky. She meets a woman who doesn't blink, wearing a coat that looks like it was buttoned from the inside. No one in this story dies. But something in Pearsall is still breathing under the floorboards, and Luna doesn't sleep the same since.

Hunting season, 2019. Luna follows a blood trail into the woods outside Kestrel Hollow, a dying town in the Allegheny foothills. The deer she'd wounded leads her not to a carcass but to a door — a wooden door set into the side of a hill, half-buried under frost and leaf litter. She opens it. What she finds inside is not a cave, not a storm cellar, but something that feels like a room left behind by someone who never intended to be found. The walls are covered in handwriting. The air smells of turned earth and old iron. And there is a chair. Empty. Facing the back wall. The blood trail ends there.

November 2019, on a dirt road called Mossy Run that dead-ends at the county line. Luna is tracking a deer when she finds an abandoned camper with a kerosene lamp still burning inside. The owner is gone, but the lamp never goes out. Over three nights she returns, watching the light flicker through the trees, until she finally understands what it means to leave a fire burning for someone who can't find their way home. A quiet, haunting story about the things we leave on for the lost.

December 1998. A warm snap melts the snow on Potters Mill Road, and a hunter named Emmett discovers something moving under the ice of the old millrace. Luna pieces together what happened to the family who owned the mill, the summer they tried to dam the creek, and the shape that watched from the spillway. A story about what freezes, what thaws, and what waits for the right temperature to crawl back out.

November 2019, just outside the ghost town of Shiloh, Missouri. Luna accompanies a deer hunter named Ray Garman into the Ozark backwoods, where a blood trail leads them not to a wounded buck but to something that has been waiting in the dark a long time. A story about what happens when the thing you're hunting starts hunting back — and the terrible debt that can pass between generations. This episode takes place on a steep limestone ridge above the White River, just after the first hard frost. Ray wears a red flannel coat and carries a .30-06 he bought from a widow's estate sale. By the end of the morning, neither of us are sure who led who up that hill.

November 2009. Luna's uncle Clem, a retired game warden, tells her about the last deer he ever tracked—a buck that left no prints in the snow, just a strange fence line that shouldn't have been there, three miles deep in Ponderosa Pines National Forest. Clem was sixty-three, sober four years, and not prone to stories. But that morning he found a trail of blood that smelled like ozone and led to a stretch of barbed wire strung between pines that had been dead for decades. The fence wasn't on any map. It wasn't flagged, posted, or maintained. And behind it, in a clearing where the snow was smooth and undisturbed, something was breathing. This episode is a quiet, slow-burn encounter with the edge of someone else's property—a boundary that was never meant to be crossed. Luna listens, and remembers the way Clem's hands shook when he finished the story. He never hunted again.

West Texas, January 1999. A dry winter, a two-lane road that doesn't make it onto most maps, and a house on stilts that someone built for reasons nobody in town would talk about. Luna was twenty-two, working nights at a gas station outside Lamesa, when the man with the broken watch pulled in for gas he didn't need. He told her about the woman in the window, the one who only showed herself at three in the morning, and the thing he saw underneath the house when the wind was right. She didn't believe him until she drove out there herself. This is what she found, and what followed her back to the station.

It was the winter of 2018, just past midnight on a Tuesday, and I was parked at the end of Millbrook Grade — a gravel turnoff that dead-ends into the old logging road above Henshaw's Meadow. I was tracking a buck I'd hit earlier, a messy shot that I knew I'd regret if I didn't find it. The blood trail was sparse, just specks on the frost, and it led me up the grade, past the broken gate, into a part of the woods I'd never walked at night. That's where I saw the boots. A pair of work boots, set side by side in the middle of the trail, perfectly still, laces tied, toes pointed toward the dark. No footprints around them. No sign of the person who'd been wearing them. Just boots, waiting. I stood there a long time, rifle half-raised, listening. The woods were silent — no wind, no leaves, no breath. And then one of the boots moved. Not kicked, not nudged — it tilted, like someone inside it was shifting their weight. I aimed. I didn't shoot. I couldn't. Because the boot tilted back, and the other one rocked, and I heard a sound like a man clearing his throat from somewhere just behind my shoulder. I did not turn around. I walked backward down the grade, one step at a time, until I felt the hood of my truck against my spine. I drove home with the headlights off. I think about those boots a lot. I think about what might have been in them — or what might have been waiting for whoever left them there.

Luna recalls a February night twelve years ago, when she was nineteen and hunting alone on a ridgeline above Stony Hollow, West Virginia. Fresh snow had fallen, and she picked up a blood trail that led not to a deer but to something else entirely — something that had been walking on its hind legs and dragging a broken trap. What she found in the hollow was not an animal, and it was not a person. This episode is about the moment you realize the thing you are hunting has been hunting you back, and the quiet that follows when you both decide to walk away.
