The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Its glow was rather dim, so the four girls down by the lake took a while to notice it. Once they did, though, the warm, golden light poking through the dark trees was impossible to dismiss. For as long as the girls had been alive, and even before that, no one had gone on the small trek up to the seventh cabin around the lake. Not that there were many options for who would do such a thing since only two of the remaining six cabins were being occupied every summer. The other four were occasionally rented out, and the wealthy family who owned the cabins still hired cleaning crews and landscapers to care for them between renters. The seventh cabin, however, remained abandoned at the top of a trail that circled the lake before climbing up into the higher ground. It obviously used to be the cabin with the best view, but whatever happened there long ago made that sale point insignificant. If they thought anyone would buy it, the wealthy family would gladly sell it. They would tear it down, too, if they dared.

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. “Okay, enough of that,” Jenny stabbed at her car display screen as she buzzed down the empty road. It always amazed her how quickly it felt like the middle of nowhere after leaving the city, good fuckin way to get killed, she thought as the podcast lingered in her mind. True Crime podcasts were her thing, ‘nap, snacks, and true crime podcasts,’ she had it on a t-shirt, but she’d had an eerie feeling about this assignment since she was rushed into the car. Dan, the news station manager, had sprung this assignment on her last minute and the information he provided was vague. He had told her she was the first and only person he was giving this one to since he thought it could be breaking news. So Jenny had rushed from the station without going through her usual road trip/investigation prep routine. She had even forgotten her car phone charger which she had let Dan borrow earlier that day. She turned on the radio instead of continuing to make her skin crawl with the battery draining podcast.
