From our earliest days we've gathered around the fire for warmth and comfort.

But beyond the light of the dying embers, there is the darkness.

And it's in the darkness of the night where we find ourselves waiting, yearning for the dawn to banish our fears.

But our campfire holds more than firelight.

And you dare not close your eyes.
