The Darkness Within

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. A group of teenagers set up camp and sat down around the small fire in the field near the old structure. There were legends about the cabin, but it was always a dare for new kids to come spend the night on the property to see if they could do it or if they left screaming in the night. One of the boys smiled as the flamed bounced in the reflection of his eyes as he asked the rest of group.
