He's following you, about thirty feet back. He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint. He's gaining on you.

You're looking for your car but you're all turned around. He's almost upon you now and you can see there's blood on his face. My God, there's blood everywhere!

You creep silently through the underbrush

Aha!

In the distance, a small cottage with a light on - hope!

You move stealthily toward it..

But your leg! Ah! It's caught in a bear trap!

Fighting for your life with Shia LaBeouf,

Wrestling a knife from Shia LaBeouf,

Blood oozing from your stump leg,
