Alice Hardy awoke in Room 1313 in a Hospital. 

She saw several doctors, and nurses. 

'We thought you were dead, Ms. Hardy', Sheriff Earl Tierney said.

'Steve's dead; they're all dead'.

'Yes, Ma'am', the Sheriff said.

'I ran to the woods. He is dead'.

'We thought you were dead too'.

'The boy...Jason'.

'What boy?', the Sheriff asked her.

'The one who attacked me; the one who dragged me underneath the lake'.

'Ma'am, we didn't find any boy', the Sheriff said.

'Then...he's still there...'.

The camp was silent. 

No one was there. 

And the silence was loud.
