The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was flickering weakly, a tiny yellow beating heart barely bright enough to illuminate the cabin’s sole occupant who lay face-down on the worm-eaten floorboards. Aside from her chest - which heaved as she huffed and puffed to catch her breath - she had barely moved since crashing through the door and promptly collapsing.

Witches, toads, and serpents galore!
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." Years was an understatement to how long the cabin was abandoned but was it truly abandoned...? Has it ever been truly abandoned? The scent still lingers, the timbers still creak, observe closely and you too will hear HER SONG...

Candle of Mysteries
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Sightings of the candle burning began one day mid August when one of the city folk became lost in the middle of the woods nearby. They were following the path which had a sign posted at the entrance saying "Leave the path at your own risk- all who step off will be cursed". Their first mistake was failing to bring a flashlight; the second was stepping off of the path unknowingly when the sun set and it became pitch black.

Beautiful Arson
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. His anger burned through his chest, the paper crumbled in his hand as he fought to hold back tears. He read the letter anxiously while trying not to make a scene before walking in the cabin.

The Call to the Void
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Truthfully, it wasn't the first time the candle had burned but it was the first time in over forty years that anyone had been unfortunate enough to see its bright flame.

The Cabin at Capron Landing
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Those who drove past it could not believe their eyes; who could be living in that decrepit old place? The two-level cabin had stood vacant for more than ten years and had become weathered and worn, looking woefully like something out of a horror movie. Speculation around the village of Badgerville, deep in the western Canadian woods, was running rampant, and curiosity was getting the best of most to the point that they had started inventing tales. So as Kali walked into the Whiskey Watering Hole Bar and Grill around seven-thirty on that Friday evening, people were too busy to notice the pretty brunette as she walked by and took a seat in the corner booth.

After Your Ears, Before Your Eyes
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window.” Instantly, your friend bursts out in laughter. “Ooh, scary guys! You’re starting off with the cabin in the woods,” your friend says with a chuckle. She’s always doing her best to be the comic relief. It’s especially annoying now, given her audience of two, rather than your usual group of friends. “And a ghost, right?”
