The Cat Eyed Creature
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The cabin was owned by two brothers back when men newly settled in these lands. Then men disappeared one night and nothing was left but overturned furniture and the candle in the window. The candle would light every now and then. When its flame lit up the cabin, the whole of the forest seemed a darker place. People who went to investigate the candle were never seen again. It seemed the only ones that were safe in the forest were the cats. For as long as anyone can remember, it was the strays that owned those wooden lands. And, when the candle was lit, the people that lived on the outskirts of the woods would see their yellow green eyes glaring at them from the inside. Lifetimes passed and the story of the brothers turned into a folk tale and the cabin stayed abandoned. The woods were abandoned by man as nature had seemingly claimed it. You would think that people of the town would all know this about the woods, but two people in particular had never heard the rumors. On one sad day, these individuals found out how truly terrifying the unknown can actually be.

The Mirror
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was Cyrus, the youngest of the group, who noticed it first. “Look, Mommy,” he said to Melissa, pointing through the gap in the woods to the cabin in the distance. Melissa turned white as a ghost as she saw the faint distant light, and her heart raced as she pondered what this could mean.

The thing in the woods
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. A girl sat in the decrepit front yard, almost hidden amongst the overgrown weeds, her dark eyes staring vacantly into the flames of a campfire. The girl’s feet were bare and covered in mud, her dress was in tatters, her arms - one whole and one ending at the elbow - were wrapped so tightly around her knees they had begun to shake.

The Kreel
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was located at a camp called Lake Watanga. It was a popular destination because the rates were cheap, the activities plentiful for the kids, and the parents had the whole summer to themselves.

Perfection
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. We were camping not too far from here at the time. In fact, the cabin is less than a mile over that hill with the pine tree there. Pretty much a straight shot, actually.”

Arachnid on the Appalachian
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years but one night, a candle burned in the window. This was the night that Officer Brown and his partner Hayes had been called out to the old Fuller farm for a noise disturbance. Brown sat next to a very bored Hayes that had a bad habit of noisily sipping away at one stale cup of Joe all night.

It's Been a Long, Long Time
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I watch the cabin. I am in the forest. The westward facing structure stands alone on a tiny hill with nothing but a dirt path to the door and a fire pit to keep it company. Semidarkness paints the sky, bathing the red-roofed cabin with captivating magenta compliments. A burning candle is a sign of life. Something these woods have not seen for quite a long time.

The Maroon Chair
The Maroon Chair By Craig R. Hipkins The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. If anyone had been around, they might glance through the foggy glass pane and see nothing but an empty chair; a maroon-colored chair, tattered and frayed with age. However, if one looked closely enough, they might seem to perceive something disturbing. A slight movement from the backrest…a fluttering motion as if the chair might be breathing.

"We Were Once Like You"
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Jackson did not know this was an abandoned cabin and therefore didn't view the candlelight as ominous, but rather an indication that he would finally be safe.

Grumio Ash's last remarks for months while residing within the Pine Tree Mountain Cabin in the deepest of all darkness.
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. "The blackest of all blackness," "the deepest of all darkness," and "a stomping depth of a thousand ashes festering inside your nostrils because you have seen me."
