After Midnight Tales

The Hunter That Uses Compassion


Listen Later

A volunteer joins a mountain search and rescue team and is drawn into a terrifying supernatural reality while searching for a missing child. Under the guidance of a seasoned rescuer named Riker, the narrator learns that the girl is not human but a predatory entity that weaponizes compassion, mimicking lost children to lure rescuers into the wilderness. The creature imitates voices, appearances, and behaviors with disturbing accuracy, leading its victims into deadly ambushes hidden deep in the forest. When Riker sacrifices himself to save the narrator, the entity ultimately consumes and impersonates him, proving its ability to evolve through its kills. The story ends with the narrator taking up Riker’s equipment and mission, returning to the mountains to hunt the monster alone. The narrative serves as a grim inversion of the instinct to help, portraying empathy itself as the monster’s most effective weapon.
