Death's Door

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was a dreadful place, that cabin, a corner of the world where evil festered. With no one to live there, others made home in the cabin's crumbling bones. Most were woodland critters with eyes like worried wisps in the dark, hoping for safety from the owls who ruled from the canopy. There is another with claim to the cabin, however, something old and unfathomable. Few who have seen it remain, and fewer are sane enough to relay their stories. This is one of those stories; of three campers desperately lost and searching for hope. Instead, they found the cabin and its candle, luring travellers to their fate like an angler in the deep.
