Darkness Beyond the Campsite

A giant bat retreats into this black void encircling the campsite after striking Willie near the firelight. Night shadows blanket the perimeter, concealing jungle threats that erupt into the group's haven. They register its danger through the creature's swift attack and vanishing flight, which tightens their huddle and exposes the campsite's tenuous borders. Rustling undergrowth and unseen depths amplify isolation under the starless sky.
