The Mud at the Edge of Packsaddle Grade

October 2023. A solo deer hunt on Packsaddle Grade, a gravel road that dead-ends in the Owyhee Mountains, goes wrong when Luna finds a human handprint in the mud beside a creek — fingers splayed, pressed deep, as if someone had been trying to drag themselves out of the water. The print is fresh. It leads upstream, then vanishes at a pool that shouldn't be there. A man in a canvas coat appears at dusk, standing on the opposite bank, and asks for a light. His voice is dry, like paper. She gives him her Zippo. He cups the flame in both hands — hands that have no fingerprints — and when the fire catches, she sees there is no creek behind him anymore. Just mud. Wide and flat and breathing. #PacksaddleGrade #OwyheeMountains #Idaho #MudHandprint #CreekVanished #ManWithNoFingerprints #CanvasCoat #Zippo #OctoberHunt #BurningCoal #PoolThatShouldntBeThere #MudWithoutWater #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #GameTrail #SoloHunter #DeepMud #BreathingEarth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
