The Candle that Will Never Go Out
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I could see it from across the pond. I almost knew why it was burning, or at least I had a theory. My theories are never perfect but they’re close and my theory about that wooden shack across the pond might be as close to spot on as anything could be.

The King of Demons
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." Jason glanced around the surrounding trees to ensure we wouldn't be interrupted. He seemed nervous as he spoke. I nodded towards him to continue with his story to comfort him when in reality, there was nothing else he could be afraid of.

Monster in the Woods
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. A mischievous cacophony of laughter could also be heard, if one were close enough and young enough, to pick up on the high octave tones emitted from inside. A night of mayhem was officially underway.

WICKED INFERNO
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The candescent light could be seen far above the canopy of trees, almost as bright as the moon above the night sky. This included the town’s romantic hookup place for the young, old, and the recently divorced.

Sweet Rot
Sweet Rot By Benjamin Boyd The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Its’ glow was the only sign of life among the still trees. The dim light gave an otherworldly aura to the slow passing fog as it drifted by the cabin’s window. Its’ dark frame molding into the forest. With the figures of trees frozen in blackness. Their branches were jagged hands darting out for anything that walked past. The only other light was the faint gray of moonlight scatter among the shadows. The stillness of the forest amplified any movement. Each twig snap was growing closer than the last. It was like a ghost from a forgotten time. The sudden life in the long rotting cabin would be a reason to run, but for Gabriel it was just what he was hoping to find. He would soon wish he had run.

North Mountain Creature
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years but one night, a candle burned in the window. The forest ranger feverously tried to wrap gauze around her bleeding arm by candlelight. She shook so badly she couldn't hold the scissors to cut the gauze.

Host
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Strange, I thought. I had hiked past this dilapidated cabin on the Appalachian Trail many times and had never seen signs of life there. The cracked shutters screamed stay out while the warm light invited me in. I tugged the brim of my hood to ward off the rain pelting mercilessly through the canopy. The falling autumn leaves had taken my breath away during the day, but during a night deluge they provided no protection. My feet ached in my soaked boots, and my joints hurt. I liked the hurt after a good day’s hike. I hated this older, bone-tired feeling. Aging was the worst. Well, perhaps second worst to starving while alone in a rainstorm.
