Do Not Put It Out
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned bright in the window. I noticed it as I trudged through the swamp and began running through all the possible explanations behind the presence of this amber glow. Any that I could theorize were dispelled by my confidence that no one had been down here since Katrina. It’s a treacherous landscape that only a seasoned veteran like myself should attempt to survey. Only a few referential landmarks remained in this labyrinth of driftwood and Spanish moss, and while this old cabin was my North Star, it never burned like one before tonight.

The Abandoned Cabin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Jameson shouldn't have been out there, that night, but he stumbled out from the thicket, scraping his hands on the rocks as he hit the ground. He had come out to the woods to escape from the stress for a while, but once he had seen that candle flickering in the distance, he forgot what he was stressed about.

I Wonder if my Wife Suspects ME
I should wait until she is well and truly asleep but tonight I just can’t wait. At dinner I slip some crushed up sleeping tablets into her soup, hoping she won’t notice. It seems to work. As we sit on the couch watching some talent show garbage I see her struggle to stay awake.

The Last Performance of Lady Zunie
My Great Grandmother, Sofia Zunie, is easily the most important person in my life. She has seen one hundred and eighteen years and has been through so much in her long life. She was born in Russia, in Moskow actually, in nineteen o' four. She was a member of the Russian Ballet until she left for America in nineteen twenty-four. She danced and taught ballet once she established herself in America, and now she supports the arts in her old age and helps instructers in getting the most from their dancers.

The Meat Man
The Meat Man It started as most things do, with my boredom. I was surfing around on YouTube, looking for funny videos or scary videos, when I stumbled across something that caught my interest. It was run by a user who went by The Meat Man and it involved stop motion footage using some very disturbing puppets. The thing that honestly caught my eye first was the thumb nail. It was a figure that appeared to be crafted entirely out of ground meat.

Most of the history of this is combined with stories. So let's start with a story and then talk about the origin of this urban legend. Many years ago, a guy named Demetrio lived with his family. His family is a poor family. That family struggled to get three meals a day.

The Ghosts of Salem
Salem Massachusetts has long been known for the witch trials that occurred back in the 1600's. This was a deeply religious area with Puritan values, meaning that anyone suspected of witchcraft was basically consorting with evil. This meant the punishments were often harsh, if not deadly.
