[1156] -- In The Darkness, We Are Prey (previously titled, Yeti) -- Short Horror

This is an UPDATED AND REVISED version of my previous post for Yeit. I have slightly reworked the opening, and I think the new name has more bite and longer claws...
This short horror story will be approximately 5,500 7,000 words when complete.
Context: The host of a successful television series loses contact with his team while filming a Cryptid in the frozen wilderness of Northern Minnesota. Alone with no team contact, it will require the MC's unique talents and all his will to survive the night. Why did the team go silent? Why weren't emergency protocols initiated? Why have the lights of their base camp gone dark? Is something (or someone) stalking him?
I'd love to hear any and all feedback and/or suggestions about the story so far. In particular, I'd like to know if the premise is engaging and if I've hinted at an atmosphere that will darken as the story progresses. As usual, I'd love to know if the story so far makes you want to keep reading, or perhaps in this case, to keep listening. I appreciate your energy and sharp literary instincts. Thank you!
