Chelsea Williams

The Grey Lady

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Will froze still in his tracks, spotting the candle’s faint spark of light scattering through the gaps of the silhouetted pine trunks from a far. The only light guiding him through the forest since morning was that of his torch and the small cracks of moonlight fighting their way through the branches above. Though Will had been walking since the early hours, the shielded, eerie landscape of the Romanian forest barely allowed any daylight to enter at all. Will searched through the thick, dense flora in hope to find his friend Michael, or at least a clue that would lead him to his whereabouts.
