CHRIS (CONT’D)

Maybe it’s gone-

A guttural, almost human, MOAN OF PAIN comes from in the woodsbehind them. They watch the woods in horror.

Chris walks back towards the haunting wail. It stops.

ROSE:

Chris...?

Chris motions for Rose the stay. He keeps walking towards thethicket about 60 ft behind the car.

ROSE (CONT’D)

Be careful!

Chris gathers his courage and takes a step toward the thicket.

The Moan starts again, but much loader and closer than Chrisrealized. He’s startled.

Chris peers through the bushes. The deer lays there gaspingfor breaths and watching him with a black wet eye. Chris istransfixed.

ROSE (CONT’D)

Do you see it?

Chris snaps to. He nods and takes out his phone.

Rose smiles at him.
