Deep in the Amazon rainforest, Diego’s team of researchers was studying a newly discovered plant when an old shaman warned them of the Devorador de Almas—the Soul Eater.
Ignoring him, they set up camp. That night, Diego woke to the sound of his colleague, Mateo, mumbling in his sleep. His eyes were open, but completely black.
Then, he spoke in a voice not his own: “You took from the jungle. Now it takes from you.”
One by one, the team vanished. Diego ran to the river, only to see their faces reflected in the water—trapped beneath the surface, screaming silently.
When rescue teams arrived, they found no bodies, just their journals, all ending with the same chilling phrase: The jungle always wins.
