The Cabin and the Candle

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Like moths drawn to a flame, men and women found themselves compelled to inspect the unassuming house. At a glance, nothing would be of interest to anyone, and that statement should certainly ring true with the thrill seekers. And yet, they found themselves resisting what was described as a primal urge to enter the old cabin. Despite the odd circumstances, it seemed harmless enough. Until the first night of September, a horrific scene unfolded.
