A beat-up minivan with a “COED KAYAKING” bumper sticker swerves onto a gravel path. Inside: ALLISON (smart, skeptical), CHAD (jock, loud), and three other kids.
Vomiting sound effect. Chad hears: “Breathe… so I can kill you again.”
Metallic CLANG. A death gong. Tucker roars like a bear.
Tucker laughs, claps Dale on the back. A friendly thump .
Tucker wades in, pulls Chad out. Gives him CPR.
“What’d you think we were doing?”
His voice is slowed down, pitched an octave lower. “The lake… drinks… splinters of bone.”
