It was a dark and stormy night, and Jane was driving home from her friend's house when her car suddenly broke down in the middle of the woods. She had no cell reception and was miles away from the nearest town.

Jane was starting to panic when she saw a small cabin in the distance. She made her way towards it, hoping to find shelter until morning. As she approached the cabin, she noticed that the windows were boarded up, and the door was locked. However, she noticed a small crack in the door and decided to peer inside.

What she saw made her heart skip a beat. The cabin was dimly lit, and she could make out a figure sitting in a chair. The figure appeared to be an old man, but his face was shrouded in darkness.

Suddenly, the man stood up, and Jane saw that he was holding a large butcher knife. She turned to run, but the door slammed shut, trapping her inside the cabin with the man.

The old man lunged towards Jane with the knife, but she managed to dodge him and ran towards the back of the cabin. She found a small room with a trapdoor leading to the basement. She quickly climbed down the ladder and slammed the door shut behind her.

As she looked around, she realized that the basement was filled with strange artifacts and eerie decorations. There were skulls on the walls and candles burning on the floor. Jane was terrified but knew that she needed to find a way out.

As she searched for an exit, she heard the old man's footsteps above her. He was searching for her and was getting closer and closer. She could hear him muttering something, but she couldn't make out what he was saying.

Jane noticed a small window in the corner of the room and knew that it was her only chance of escape. She climbed up and managed to squeeze through the opening, cutting herself on the sharp glass in the process.

She tumbled out of the window and ran as fast as she could through the woods. She could hear the old man's footsteps behind her, but she refused to look back.

Eventually, she stumbled upon a road and saw a car in the distance. She ran towards it, waving her arms and screaming for help. The car slowed down, and a man rolled down the window.

Jane's heart sank when she saw that it was the old man from the cabin. He had caught up to her and was now in control. The man smiled at her and said, "You're not going anywhere, my dear."

Jane screamed and kicked at the door, but it was no use. She was trapped, alone, and at the mercy of a madman.

The old man took Jane back to his cabin, where she remained for days. He tortured her, both physically and mentally, until she was a shell of her former self. She begged for mercy, but he showed none.

One day, the old man left the cabin, and Jane managed to escape. She ran through the woods, hoping to find help. But when she finally stumbled upon a group of hikers, they were too afraid to help her. They had heard rumors about the old man in the woods and were too frightened to go near his cabin.

Jane was left alone once again, forced to wander through the woods, constantly looking over her shoulder. She never forgot the horrors she had experienced in that cabin, and she vowed to never let anyone else fall victim to the old man's twisted games.
