The Fruiting Body
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. When John Wilson spotted the tiny dancing flame from his own window, the sight punched him in the gut. The bowl he had been washing slipped out of his hands, and shattered on the shabby linoleum tile. John barely noticed. His eyes were fixed to that cold flare that pierced through the darkness, and into his brain. His mouth fell slack and a thin line of drool spilled from his bottom lip.

Beyond The Garden Wall
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window.” Lyial Graymont ran forward through the empty fountain in the center of the Graymont Estate garden. Gardeners had emptied the fountain days before to avoid any damage that could come from the icy climate of the fast-approaching winter. Lyial was a young boy in his early teens and quite short for his age. He wore his signature flat cap and matching brown vest with pride. He looked out across the sea of vibrant red, yellow, and violet garden flowers with a twinkle of adventure in his twilight blue eyes. “That’s how the story always starts. They always know how it starts, but the ending always changes Prin! We have to learn the truth about the cabin. No good story ends differently each time it’s told.”

Bulbous Eyes
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Emily dumped crushed up beer cans into a garbage bag as she tidied up. Everyone else was asleep, the smell of smoke and liquor hanging in the air of the old cabin like drunken wishes and empty promises.

Wick's End
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. This wasn’t quite common to see for Park Ranger Berit, not many people went this deep into this part of the woods, but it has happened. Lost hikers would take shelter, teens would use it as a place to party. Spending 30 years in these woods, he’s seen a thing or two, but a single lit candle in the middle of the night was odd. Berit walked up to east side of the cabin and looked into the window. He could only see the candle sitting on a single wooden table. He furrowed his eyebrows.

HELL HALL
Darkness choked him. It choked him every night. There was nowhere left for him to run. Solitude, loneliness, and fear loomed in the air as thick as morning fog. Where could he go to hide? He jumped into bed, clutched the covers up around his neck, wedged the blanket under his feet, and prayed for comfort from the watchers, ghosts, unseen visitors, monsters, and those unwanted and uninvited specters that always come from the other world into the room where he slept. They invaded his will, his mind, and his soul. Eyes filled with piercing vapors and encircling flames stood by his bed one again. Fearing the faintest touch from them, he flinched as if electricity leaped from the wall socket of its own will onto the bed. Unspoken words from childhood prayers stood at the gate but refused to be spoken. Needing a release to fight off the creatures from some niche forgotten by the world, Scott, a man now eighteen years old, took his normal last available escape from the torment covering him. Seeking to retain his sanity, grasping sleep, a form of release, or so he thought, he rode the familiar reserved seat on a fast-moving beam of light that thrust small spiral-shaped shards into uncharted regions where, if one wasn’t vigilant, arms of the aggressor would seize the living light unwilling to relinquish the flame of one’s soul.

The Night The Woods Went Silent
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The dull light casting out of the dusty and cobweb-filled window was enough to cause all life in the woods to just suddenly stop all the creatures in the wood, dead in their tracks.

Tales from the Jar
The Girl The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Since that night the girl had continued to visit the cabin, the mysteries inside pulling her back night after night. With a sharp pop she dislocated her thumb, she barely flinched. Tugging, she removed her hands from the chains that bound her to her bed and slipped off into the night.

The Long Weekend in the Woods
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window.” The Scout leader began the story in a hushed voice. Around the campfire, a dozen Scouts sat hunched on wooden benches in a wide circle. Some roasted marshmallows with sticks from the surrounding forest. Others cracked jokes and jostled quietly with one another. A few gazed into the coals of the lively fire with vacant eyes, tired from a day in the woods and on the water.
