‘The Hollowing’
When Logan and his friends head deep into the wilderness for an off-grid weekend party, they expect beer, bad jokes, and a break from the pressures of real life. What they find instead is a clearing too quiet, a tree too large, and a silence that feels like it's listening.
At the heart of the woods stands an ancient, towering tree—scorched with spiral markings and weeping thick black sap. Its twisted limbs loom over the campsite like skeletal arms. Despite Cassidy’s unease, the group laughs off the warnings, cracks open drinks, and starts a fire. But when one of them strikes the tree with an axe, something awakens beneath the soil. Something old. Something buried. Something hungry.
The forest begins to change—paths vanish, the sky disappears behind gnarled branches, and the trees close in like walls.
Cassidy knows they have to escape—but the forest doesn’t want them to leave. It wants to consume. And when Cassidy finally breaks free, she thinks she’s survived.
She’s wrong.
