Sheepskin
Casey, a timid Hospitality worker, works at an isolated country club near Wellington, hiding his deep trauma behind a friendly demeanor and finding comfort in a sheepskin pocket square. His routine life is disrupted when Hunter, an abrasive guest, arrives, triggering Casey's buried inner turmoil. During a masquerade event, Hunter's relentless taunts push Casey to his breaking point. The tension culminates in a violent confrontation, where Casey attacks Hunter, and reveals their shared past and the depth of Casey's torment. As the dust settles, Casey dons Hunter’s wolf mask, staring at the club. The silence now filled with a sense of foreboding and uncertainty.
