The White Deer — Moonlit Clearing Uncanny

An 8-second folklore-omen horror short, 4:3, built as an authentic trail-cam stills sequence. At 1:11 AM, the infrared flash catches an albino deer standing on its hind legs — watching the camera. 0-3s: the moonlit forest clearing — the trail camera's infrared flash fires. Frame one: an albino deer stands in the clearing's center, white as bone in the flash, beautiful — and standing on its hind legs, perfectly balanced, forelegs hanging, its head turned fully toward the camera. Frame two: the same pose, unmoving. Frame three: still holding, pink eyes reflecting the infrared as twin red coals. 3-6s: frame four — it has taken a step toward the camera, still upright, its gait smooth, unhurried. Frame five: closer, its mouth open — and the mouth is wrong, too wide, lined with flat human-like teeth. Frame six: pure white, the flash firing at point-blank range. 6-8s: frame seven, at dawn — the clearing empty in grey light. The camera's housing is cracked, the lens shattered; caught in the broken glass, a single white hair, a foot long, stirring in the breeze. Craft: the albino deer with its wrong wide mouth; the moonlit clearing; the trail camera and its infrared flash; the cracked housing; the foot-long white hair. Camera: authentic trail-cam stills sequence, the flash frames, the dawn aftermath; static, timestamped. Lighting: infrared flash on white fur to grey dawn light. Mood: folklore omen. Style: authentic trail-cam stills, 8 seconds, 4:3.
