Village Secrets

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I was trying not to breath heavily as my heart pounded against my chest. No one had lived in that abandoned cabin for as long as I could remember. Now the whole village feared it. They claimed a beast lived with in it. I knew better than to believe children’s rumors and stories. I just wanted to find my 13 year old daughter Caroline. She ran off again after disobeying her father and I. As I stand here behind this tree staring at the candle flicker in the window, I thought I saw an outline of a giant beast with horns in the shadows of the cabin.
