The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Within the warm glare of that melting fire, bodies gathered around, desperate to clutch its warmth. As the flame danced amusing staring eyes, the silence of the room grew heavier and heavier. Here lay countless eyes that had seen countless wonders, each and every person had been entranced in some grand adventure unique and diverse in infinite mystery. These were Vangel warriors who had pledged their sword and soul to the immortal Venus. Under her eternal banner, they had found themselves in the midst of fantastic epics, great tales that they would now tell within the warmth of the cabin. Everything spoken was truth, so the question was now asked................. What happened?

This "story" is actually true as this was a dream I had not long ago. If you're reading this, feel free to leave a comment as to what you think, how you perceived it and even how it made you feel. I'm curious in what other's think of this dream I had dreamt. To me, it felt as though it was reality.

"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." I couldn't help myself, I had to go over and look within. There was one old man, sitting in a rotting armchair, his long beard blending into longer hair curling down his back. It was white, except for the dark orange and brown part around his mouth, dyed by spittle from the tobacco he chewed and spat into a spitoon by his chair. The rustic wood around the spitoon dyed a darker brown by globules missing the rim.

Chapter One Darkness choked him. It choked him every night. There was nowhere left for him to run. Solitude, loneliness, and fear loomed in the air as thick as morning fog. Where could he go to hide? He jumped into bed, clutched the covers up around his neck, wedged the blanket under his feet, and prayed for comfort from the watchers, ghosts, unseen visitors, monsters, and those unwanted and uninvited specters that always come from the other world into the room where he slept. They invaded his will, his mind, and his soul. Eyes filled with piercing vapors and encircling flames stood by his bed one again. Fearing the faintest touch from them, he flinched as if electricity leaped from the wall socket of its own will onto the bed. Unspoken words from childhood prayers stood at the gate but refused to be spoken. Needing a release to fight off the creatures from some niche forgotten by the world, Scott, a man now eighteen years old, took his normal last available escape from the torment covering him. Seeking to retain his sanity, grasping sleep, a form of release, or so he thought, he rode the familiar reserved seat on a fast-moving beam of light that thrust small spiral-shaped shards into uncharted regions where, if one wasn’t vigilant, arms of the aggressor would seize the living light unwilling to relinquish the flame of one’s soul.

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I thought, “I could get in trouble if I go exploring this cabin.” The night sky lit with lightning. “The sound of a car driving behind me reminded me that I still had some exploring of this new town. I am new and I get the feeling everyone already knows. This one house is neglected, and everyone acts as if it is okay to leave it like this? There is no for rent sign or sign of anyone ever there.” Noland turned to head back to his apartment. It was close to the cabin in the woods.

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It swayed, bobbing leisurely from left to right, in a pattern that was almost hypnotic. An inexplicable calm washed through me despite my muscles being wound tight in adrenaline-fueled panic mere moments earlier. Already my brain was rationalizing why the gentle flicker of the candle flame soothed me.

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The deep yellow and ruby red flames flickered high over the wick as if to wave “stop here” for all those able to see it. Well, someone did see it.
