Blue Whirl
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." Angus began his story in a low and enticing voice. The campfire crackled, sending firebrands into the night sky. His audience of teen-aged campers was already becoming unruly. "Oy! Just 'cause I can't see you doesn't mean I don't know what you're up to," Angus warns, ducking a barrage of marshmallows with a wave of his hand. "Alright, alright you rascals! Settle down and listen." Angus takes a moment to smell the air, thick with smoke and the scent of wet pine needles. As he lifts his chin toward the light of the moon, he continues his story.

The Visit
The sounds of worship music filled the sanctuary as the youth group band played, and the teenagers sang along with the music. Karen stood in the back of the sanctuary leaning against the wall, her eyes closed as she sang along. Suddenly a feeling of something not quite right came over her, so she opened her eyes and looked around. Taking a good look around Karen saw nothing out of the ordinary. A quick count showed all the teens were where they had been and the adult leaders were still in the sanctuary as well.

A Fatal Projection
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Debra had never really taken notice of the cabin during her midnight astral projections. She always came to the woods after a difficult day to get lost in the dark and to witness the beauty of the wilderness come alive without a human’s presence. Tonight was different, the light had caught her attention and always a curious one, she floated closer for a peak.

Sundown
Chapter I: Start With a Bullet The cloudless morning carried with it a calm, relaxing chill as the refugees flocked to the pier in order to get on the last remaining ship out of the city. They trickled slowly past the government-reinforced checkpoint as many others were backed up farther than the eye could see.

The Ghost of a Zombie
I thought this was a brilliant concept and wish this had been a challenge subject. I pitched the idea on a few vocal pages when Mike Singleton from the True crime, Horror Story & Dark Poetry group on Facebook (Definitely join if you are interested in any of the above-mentioned subjects, they share some epic whoppers) goaded me into writing my version. Here it is! I hope you enjoy and if you want to make your own, share it with me on facebook or instagram! I would love to read ya'lls renditions!

The Haunting of Heber house
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window". "Legend has it, that once you see the candle, you will die within a day of the first sighting. Believe it or not, this cabin has been around for over three hundred years. Every year on the anniversary of the strange disappearance of Katarina Heber, the candle appears, and a person, or sometimes persons, go missing and are never seen or heard from again, all that is left is a trail of blood, a lock of hair and a bloody handprint"! Josephina paused for effect, searching the faces for reactions.
