The Hummingbird
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I stared at the old log cabin as the timber’s natural beauty glistened under the full moon. The flicker of the candle’s flame danced across the windowsill and into the wild.

Reunited
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. When she saw it, she grinned, her heart racing. Despite the darkness and uneven ground, she sprinted toward the small home. She only tripped once, on an unearthed tree root. She stood and wiped her dirty hands on her jeans. A little fall wouldn’t stop her. Not now, after all this time.

Painted Red Across my Eyes
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. They could see it from across the frozen lake as the family pulled up to where they would be staying for the weekend, a relatives house situated only a few miles from the mountain for a winter ski trip.

No Safe Shortcuts
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. A thin fog gathered in front and slithered under the door. The sweat from the fog’s moisture brought a mist to the window, yet the candle remained steady, and these words appeared out of nowhere.

The Soulful Eater
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. As Katie ran along the hiking trail as she often did for years, she passed the cabin and thought to herself...there must be a new owner. She thought it would be nice to knock on the door and welcome the new owner to the area. As she approached the door a cool breeze ran up her spine giving her chills and goosebumps all over her skin. She suddenly felt very nervous and decided to come back tomorrow. That night during dinner, Katie told her family about the cabin. Her father stood up quite quickly and said "Katie!" " You are not to go near that cabin!" A curious look came upon Katie's face. "Why father?" Her father sat down and exclaimed, "after dinner we will talk."

BEST SERVED COLD
BEST SERVED COLD The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window, one solitary candle, flickering away, and all appeared to be quiet and peaceful, in fact some might say, it was deathly quiet.

The Eldivore
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The candle burned brightly, casting a warm and welcoming glow out into the rainy winters night. Light and shadow twinkled down a meandering path, through lichen covered trees, to where a weary traveler approached.

For the Love of Money and Booze
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Having spent an hour hunting deer using only the light of the full moon, Nicholas’s eyes are immediately drawn to the orange flickering light. He is still some distance away from the cabin; his habit is to avoid the place not only because of its crumbling fragility, but also because of the persistent rumors of hauntings. Nicholas pauses between two Spruce trees, adjusts his scarf to better protect against the chill November air and looks again towards the distant light.

The Tale Of The Midnight Sun
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Standing some 50 feet from the building, Nathan carefully scrutinized its surroundings. Even though the moon was hiding and the night sky was pitch black, the area bathed in bright light. How could such a small candle produce so much light?
