The Abandoned Cabin

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Earlier that evening, Brad and Gina had stood on the grassy hilltop meadow and peered down into the heavy woods in the forest below them. They had been hiking the national forest trail all day, and as the September evening grew late, they had stopped on the hill to pitch the tent and make a quick meal on the camp stove.
