They wanted a weekend escape. The forest wanted something else.

Jenna sought a quiet retreat in the dense woods of a remote state park, a break from the noise of the city. Her partner, Mark, saw it as another objective to conquer—a master of logistics in a world he believed he understood. But the ancient forest has its own rules. And it has a keeper.

It begins with a strange orb of light on a photo, an anomaly Mark dismisses as a technical glitch. Then comes the sharp crack of a branch in the dead of night, followed by the soft thud of a pebble against their tent. Mark’s relentless logic and rationalizations leave Jenna isolated, her growing terror a solitary burden in the vast, watching wilderness.

As the strange occurrences escalate from unsettling to openly hostile, the couple finds themselves in a desperate struggle not just against a territorial force of nature, but against each other. The forest’s keeper is not just a legend; it's an intelligent, primal entity, and it has judged them unworthy. Trapped and hunted, Jenna must confront the chilling reality that the greatest threat isn't just the monster in the woods, but the breakdown of the one relationship she thought she could trust.

A gripping tale of folk horror, cryptid terror, and psychological collapse, this novella is perfect for fans of The Ritual and The Blair Witch Project. If you crave stories where the dread is suffocating and the wilderness is the ultimate predator, you will be captivated by Bigfoot - White Sasquatch.
