Daniel hoped a weekend camping trip would help reconnect with his son, Caleb, but after a heated argument, Caleb stormed off into the woods. As night fell, Daniel searched for him and found only strange footsteps that stopped abruptly.
The drive to the campsite was filled with tension, and Caleb’s indifference to their time together hurt Daniel. The forest, deep and silent, mirrored the growing distance between them. Caleb eventually ran off, and Daniel, desperate, followed his footprints until they stopped.
In the woods, Daniel found Caleb in a gully, shaken by an eerie presence. A strange deer stalked them, its movements unnatural. They rushed back to the campfire, where Caleb, nursing an injured ankle, confessed his confusion about their changing lives.
After a quiet, understanding moment, they reconciled. The bond between father and son wasn’t fixed, but the night marked a start.
