My Deliverance
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I am standing in the woods. I can see the candle in the distance, glinting, calling to me. Who lit a candle in the old abandoned cabin? Nearby I hear the soft crackle of leaves. I am alone. Is there someone else in the dark with me? My pulse quickens and my breath catches in my throat. But then I realize, it’s me. I am crushing the leaves. I am walking toward the candle in the window. I am drawn to the candle. Suddenly I am face to face with the window. I press my forehead to the glass. The flame dances and flickers. It is trying to tell me something, but I don’t understand.
