Do Not Open the Door
Do Not Open the Door The wind howled through the cracks in the old wooden cabin, its mournful cry echoing off the desolate mountains. It was a stormy night, the kind where even the bravest of souls would rather stay inside, far away from the dangers lurking in the dark wilderness. Yet here I was, alone in my grandfather's secluded cabin, miles from the nearest town, with nothing but the faint glow of a dying fireplace for company.

On a Wing and a Prayer. Top Story - October 2024. Content Warning.
I started writing this as an entry into the SpookyMicro Challenge but soon surpassed the 300-word limit. I don't feel as though I can do it much justice if I slice and dice it down to qualify, though I might yet give it a go. So, here it is, in its original glory.

The Mystery of Seua Saming
In the rich embroidered artwork of Southeast Asian old stories, not many animals spellbind the creative mind as much as the Seua Saming, or Weretiger. These amazing creatures are accepted to be people who have the capacity to change into brutal tigers, slinking the woodlands and towns of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. Like the werewolves of Western folklore, weretigers are both dreaded and worshipped for their extraordinary influence, as well as their capacity to bring both favorable luck and catastrophe.

Captain's Log: Feb. 7th, 1984
There was only one rule: Don’t open the door. Captain’s orders. As far as rules go, this one was easy. Life on the ship was routine, and after that unfortunate affair with a galleon of navy ruffians, we had more work than hands to do it. No one gave much thought to the odd door tucked at the back of the hold. Most assumed it was a smuggling hold, and the men—experienced seamen—knew better than to ask questions.
