Game Trail — Fexingo Horror

It was the last Saturday of deer season, and I was working a ridge above Hargrove Grade—a switchback that hadn't seen a plow in thirty years. A kid named Caleb came out of the dark before dawn, no jacket, no gun, no boots. Said he'd heard a bell in the woods behind his uncle's place and followed it until he couldn't find his way back. I put him in the truck with the heater on full and went looking for the sound myself. What I found wasn't a bell, and it wasn't lost. This is a story about hearing something you can't unhear, about a place where the snow doesn't hold prints, and about the thing that walked the ridge all night—waiting for me to finish the hunt I'd started.

In the winter of 2017, a call comes in on a payphone that hasn't worked in forty years. Luna's old friend Hank — a retired lineman who still checks the dead lines out of habit — answers it. The voice on the other end is a woman asking for directions to a house that burned down in 1975. Hank keeps picking up, night after night. Luna pieces together what happened to the woman, the house, and the stretch of road where the phone keeps ringing. This episode is about the weight of unfinished business, the way grief can travel along copper wire, and what it means to be the one who still listens.

Deep in the Missouri Ozarks, past the last gravel turnoff on Decker's Road, there's a ravine where the phone signal dies and the deer don't go. I met a man there in November of 2022, sitting on a fallen oak at the bottom of the gorge, staring at a straight line of stones he'd laid across the dry creek bed. He told me he'd been laying that line for three years, every dawn, one stone at a time. He said it was keeping something from coming up the ravine from the south. I asked him what. He just pointed at the line and said, 'That's not the question.' This is a story about a line, a man named Hollis, and the thing I saw move under the frost heave on the other side. No neat answers. Just a walk down into a place where something is waiting.

In the winter of 2007, in the small town of Meridian, Kansas, a young woman named Eliza Moreland started hearing things from the old well on her family's property. At first it was just a whisper, a word she could never quite catch. But as the weeks passed, the voice grew clearer, and the presence in the well began to reach for her. Luna tells the story of what Eliza found when she finally looked down into the dark water—and what looked back. A quiet, intimate horror about longing, loneliness, and the things we invite in when we listen too closely.

Luna follows a wounded buck into the deep snow of the Kiamichi Mountains, near a place called Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The trail leads her to a rusted railway trestle that shouldn't be there—a bridge that vanished from maps decades ago. On the far side, she finds a man in a muddy coat who speaks like he's been waiting for someone to finally come. He offers her a cup of coffee from a thermos, and the steam smells like old hay and something metallic. Luna doesn't drink. She listens instead to the sound of the bridge groaning under a weight that isn't hers. This is a story about the thin places between what we call lost and what we call gone. About the things that walk the edges of our maps, waiting for us to step off the path. And about the things we leave behind when we do.

In the winter of 2018, I drove out to Haines Hollow, Pennsylvania, to help a friend track a deer he'd shot at dusk. The blood trail led us deeper into the woods than either of us expected, past the old fire tower that had been decommissioned for years. What we found wasn't a deer. It was something that had been waiting for us — something that knew our names and spoke in static. This is a story about the things that answer when you call into the dark, and the silence you carry home with you.

January 2022. A deer trail behind an abandoned gas station outside Roscoe, New York. Luna follows a blood smear into a stand of old-growth pines where the snow doesn't fall the same way twice. She finds a hunter's blind built from bones and a pair of boots still warm. The boots are empty. She waits until dark. Something breathes in the blind with her. She never sees what it is—but she hears it whisper her full name. A slow-burn encounter about the things that know us better than we know ourselves, set in a frozen wood where the trees remember every step you've ever taken.

March 1997. In the hills above Millbrook, New York, an old apple orchard sits abandoned after the last Furlong died. Luna's father told her never to walk past the fallen stone wall at dusk—the door wasn't meant to be opened from this side. Years later, alone and stubborn, she goes back with a flashlight and a pair of wire cutters. What she finds behind that rusted hatch is not an old cold cellar. It's something that knows her name, and has been waiting for her to come home. This is a story about thresholds, inheritance, and the things we're told not to touch. No gore. No monsters. Just a door, a voice, and a question that doesn't have an answer.

Luna recalls a late October morning in 2019, when she tracked a deer into a hollow she had never heard of — Garvey Hollow, off an unmarked logging road in Cameron County. The deer was not a deer. The trail did not end. And the thing that walked out from behind the deadfall was wearing the face of a boy she had known in high school, a boy who had vanished from a fishing trip seven years before. She tells the story flat, without embellishment, because the truth is worse than anything she could invent. A story about memory, about the places things go when they are lost, and about the thin boundary between what is hunted and what hunts. No monsters. No screams. Just a boy who came back wrong, and a trail that led into a hollow that was not on any map.

On a frozen November night in 2019, a snowplow driver on Cherry Valley Grade near the town of Dunmore picks up a man walking the shoulder without a coat. The driver knows every mile of that road—the way it snakes up the ridge, the places where the guardrail is gone, the spot where the radio dies for three full minutes. But he does not know the man in the passenger seat. He does not know why the man's clothes are dry despite the snow, or why he keeps asking to be let out at a house that burned down in 1972. By midnight, the driver is sitting alone in his parked truck with the doors locked, watching his own breath fog the windshield, wondering whether the man was ever really there. This is a story about the long dark between towns, the things that walk the shoulder when no one is looking, and the quiet you fall into when you realize you are the one who stopped.
