The Thirteenth Holder
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window.” Pastor Nate had been sitting on his green Coleman chair to deliver the opening line of his story, his head intentionally pointing groundward so that none of the youth group campers could see his face. He paused for dramatic effect, the sound of the snapping fire before him the only music to challenge the vibrant songs of the crickets and peepers surrounding them in the White Mountain Forest. Nate raised his head slowly, a sinister grin on his bearded face, and continued the story, slowly scanning the eyes of the ten fourth graders encircling the fire. He clearly had their attention.

The Slaughter
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Jonathan was the first to point out this odd revelation to the rest of his family. Being only a boy of five, he saw the candle burning as a wondrous opportunity to explore. His parents, on the other hand, looked at that candle burning with horror. They knew all too well what happened in that cabin the last time the candle had burned there.

Side Gig
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Driving down the disused road toward the cabin was a grey SUV, dodging fallen tree limbs and near pond-sized puddles. Its headlights finally shone upon the wooden fence post that signaled the walking path toward the lonely cabin.

Skin
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. According to legend, it’s said to light itself on the anniversary of the murders,” I said as I over dramatized a tale about our cabin. The eager listeners stifled their laughter, adding to the ironic attempt.

RISK
"Reset your password," I put my phone down and looked up at the ceiling; I wished I could reset the world. Or at the very least reset my routine for the past year. Instead, I had locked myself inside my bedroom since 6 p.m. the night before. Just like every other night since it all began and people made locking themselves inside their bedrooms their safest getaway.

Nightmare Ville
MASCARA KILLER INTRODUCTION In a small town named, Suffolk, Texas there lived an old man named Travis. He was a fearless man who used to work at his farm close to his house. He had crops grown in his backyard, as well as in surrounding areas. He had bought a few acres of land around his house to grow his farm. Also, he had bought land on a separate place near his house, where he had built another farm. He was a wealthy man in his times, who didn’t really like to go in crowds. In his street, there were less houses as compared to other streets, and the reason behind why he bought the land in surrounding of his house was so no one builds houses next to his house. He was a person who only liked peace and calmness. He lived at his house with his wife Bella, along with his 16 years old son, William.

The collection
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Curiosity seduced me as I closed in on the forest lining, there was no hesitation to find out who's moved into the cabin. The last anyone knew about its owners is that they were an elderly couple who built it themselves and live there to their last days. So crept quietly across the grassy opening and ducked underneath the candle lit window. I stayed crouched in the dirt for a few minuets to listen for any movement inside. Unsuccessful I slowly fished out my phone and turned on the camera and set it away to record. I filmed for a few seconds through the window to see if the room was empty. I played back the video and it did appear empty with only the candle burning and a vacant bed.
