The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The cabin was small. A single room with a crumbling chimney, an old, yellowed fridge, and a layer of dust coating it all. Sara checked the deadbolt on the cabin door again, assuring it was locked.

The Snapper
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. We’ve all seen it before now. Haven’t ye lads. The slowly flickering candle. It brings to life the olden days of bygone years and stories long forgotten.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Jane had spotted the light of the candle flickering through the trees. Her car had broken down at the edge of the woods as the night began to fall over the road. She was on her way home from the funeral of a great aunt of whom she had no relation to. The only thing she knew of the aunt came from an unremarkable letter, informing Jane of her passing and the address and time of the funeral.

How well do you know me?
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Then, just as quickly, it all went dark. Jordan could hear her though. She was breathing hard, but it sounded shallow and broken. She couldn’t catch her breath. Jordan fought to open his eyes, he needed to see her, but he had no sensation at all. He had no control over himself. Had he been drugged? Was something covering his face? Surely, he would still be able to feel that, but there was nothing. It was just dark. Was he alive?

If one doesn't get you, the other will
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was flickering weakly, a tiny yellow beating heart barely bright enough to illuminate the cabin’s sole occupant who lay face-down on the worm-eaten floorboards. Aside from her chest - which heaved as she huffed and puffed to catch her breath - she had barely moved since crashing through the door and promptly collapsing.

Witches, toads, and serpents galore!
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." Years was an understatement to how long the cabin was abandoned but was it truly abandoned...? Has it ever been truly abandoned? The scent still lingers, the timbers still creak, observe closely and you too will hear HER SONG...

Candle of Mysteries
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Sightings of the candle burning began one day mid August when one of the city folk became lost in the middle of the woods nearby. They were following the path which had a sign posted at the entrance saying "Leave the path at your own risk- all who step off will be cursed". Their first mistake was failing to bring a flashlight; the second was stepping off of the path unknowingly when the sun set and it became pitch black.

Beautiful Arson
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. His anger burned through his chest, the paper crumbled in his hand as he fought to hold back tears. He read the letter anxiously while trying not to make a scene before walking in the cabin.
