Hook · 5.0s

Two voices through the trees — but only one set of footsteps.

Body — 10 lines · key word highlighting preview
  1. Line 1
    measured5.0s

    I was fifteen years old. November. My cousin left me alone in the trench with the deer.

  2. Line 2
    slow whisper4.5s

    The deer was still alive. The sounds it made weren't cries. Weren't breathing. Something in between.

  3. Line 3
    building unease4.0s

    That's when I heard them — two voices. Getting closer. Bickering.

  4. Line 4
    sharp drop3.5s

    I climbed the nearest tree and pressed myself against the trunk.

  5. Line 5
    measured5.0s

    She came around the bend — pale gray skin, completely barefoot, one shoulder lower than the other.

  6. Line 6
    building unease4.5s

    A limp that looked permanent. Necessary. She walked straight to the deer without hesitating.

  7. Line 7
    pause then deliver5.0s

    Both voices were coming from one mouth. One deeper. The other flat. Obedient. Repeating.

  8. Line 8
    building unease5.5s

    She dropped to her knees. I pressed both hands over my mouth. My legs shook so badly I thought the branch would move.

  9. Line 9
    measured5.0s

    When she stood to leave, she took the deer by a hoof — and the deeper voice spoke.

  10. Line 10
    dramatic build5.5s

    'She doesn't like being watched while she eats.' A pause. 'I don't like being watched while I eat.'

Payoff · 7.0s

She kept dragging. She never once looked up at the tree. She didn't need to — she'd known I was there the whole time.

Music: low sub-bass sine drone at -30dB, no melody or percussion — fade to near-silence in final 8s before payoff. SFX: single dry footstep crunch looped quietly under B3–B4 only. Subtitle key_words highlighted in deep red. Insert 0.4s breath gap between every sentence; 0.8s gap before payoff line.
