Doppelgänger
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the windows. The ground beneath the woman’s sneakers squished with each step as she assessed the haggard cabin, with it’s sodden wood and moss covered corners. The running path slithered away from her into the misty forest beyond, looking for an escape.

Stay
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The woman slowed her pace on the same path she jogged every day. Most days, she ignored the house with little more than a glance. But then again, there had never been any signs of life before. On this night, the front picture window, its shutters charred and hanging by loose hinges, was lit aglow by a dancing flame. The woman stopped and removed one earbud, using the last vestiges of sunlight to take in the cabin's exterior.

Visits From a Stranger
The first time it happened, I shrugged it off as any other sleep paralysis experience. I've had many. They're all very different with one common theme. There's always a person I can see whether it be a child, adult, or something otherworldly. I could never talk back, scream or move. I could only watch and wait until it was over. This story however, is different from the others. She kept visiting me. She kept getting closer.

Spirits of The Outback
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night a candle burned in the window. But what was I to do? The power was out. So it was candles for light and a camping stove to cook the dinner. Tinned dinner; tinned spaghetti with tinned chilli tuna I mixed through to give it something. Anything. It was an old cadet hack I came up with but I had been living off tinned food for a week since the floods and was growing sick of it.

The Abandoned Cabin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Earlier that evening, Brad and Gina had stood on the grassy hilltop meadow and peered down into the heavy woods in the forest below them. They had been hiking the national forest trail all day, and as the September evening grew late, they had stopped on the hill to pitch the tent and make a quick meal on the camp stove.

The Girl Inside
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. If only Lauren had known that she shouldn’t have been on that road that night. That she shouldn’t have went for that walk with her dog. If only she had stayed home.

Too Dark
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. No one was there to see when it lit up, but it was felt. There was a chill in the air. The forest grew silent. Ground animals went into their burrows and the birds nestled tighter in their nests and a few miles from the cabin a group of hikers trudged uphill slowly.

The Letter
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The girl had used this shortcut through these woods on multiple occasions, when leaving after hours from school with nobody to pick her up. It was later than usual as she made her way through the winding trail toward her house that evening. Her mother did not approve of this way getting home, it made her worry and so the girl seldom confessed to having used it. The woods provided a natural shelter from the elements though. The thick lines of trees that surrounded the path shielded her from the rain and filtered even the harshest of winds down to a gentle breeze. A relief from the miles of country road she would have to walk beyond that point, along open fields and pastures. This night however, there was no urgent need for protection from the weather. The air was calm and the dusky sky with the setting sun remained clear, save a few scattered clouds across the horizon. She simply wanted to save time by going this way tonight.
