The knife emits a strange vibration and urges Rolf to use it on something other than fish. Rolf feels both fascination and dread towards the knife. During a storm, Rolf contemplates using the knife, but the door of the smokehouse interrupts. Rolf realizes the knife craves the blood of its wielder and understands he must sacrifice himself to satisfy its hunger. As the storm and the knife's demand escalate, Rolf faces the decision, knowing his life hangs in the balance. / Strange Tales is an AI experiment. Join us on Discord; http://discord.gg/PkvMhvCtRS
