Summary: "No Escape"

Ben Caywood walked slowly in the dark wooda, until his foot caught on something heavy. He fell with a grunt -- knowing as he did that what he'd fallen over was made of flesh. He hopped to his feet, his heart hammering, fumbling for the matches in his pocket to see what was on the ground. Hands trembling, he struck one....
The light flared across a face intimately familiar, the face that had smiled down on him all his life. The face was that of his father. He was dead, and on his chest was a piece of paper that carried the words---the same words laid upon the corpses of other Caywoods by the unseen killer in the woods.
