A Candle in the Window
The cabin in the woods was abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. At first, I wasn’t sure what I was seeing as I slipped past the last row of bare trees and cautiously entered the clearing. Surely, the cabin was empty. It was almost a full day’s trek to reach it from the main trail system in this part of the park. It was uncommon enough in the summer for anyone to hike in this deep, but to come here in late-October was unheard of. Only a handful of people knew the location of the cabin. The only possible way someone could be here was if they were lost.

Just One More
Stacey Chapman pulled hard on the cold metal of the gate. The rusted iron hinges resisted and it squealed as it moved. She winced at the sound as it cut through the quiet of the cemetery. She pulled hard again. It moved another six inches but would go no further. She glanced around to ensure she hadn’t attracted any unwanted company, then checked her watch. Twelve minutes until midnight. She still had time.
