We Don't Speak Her Name
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I'd been having that same stupid dream about that same stupid house for as long as I could remember, but the summer of 2011 was the first time that I'd seen the flickering light of a candle burning in the windowsill.

The Creature
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Layla paused as she watched the flame flicker in the darkness. The cabin had been left to rot for longer than she’d been alive. No one had the courage to enter past the threshold since that gruesome night almost a half-century ago. Fear kept the cabin from being torn down years ago. There it still stood at the end of the town’s only cemetery.

Count to Three
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Abigail stared at the words followed by a taunting blink of the cursor on her laptop screen. It had been five years since her therapist had told her to try writing her nightmares down. Never one to do something without purpose she turned those raving scribbles into novels and much to her surprise they had been successful. The monsters that had haunted her nights had now become her livelihood.

Copper's Candle Curse
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. This candle was bright. So bright that the nearby townsfolk in the town of Copper could see it from their homes. In those days the townsfolk dared not enter the forest for tales of the witch that lived there.

KILLING TIME
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was far away, but clearly visible through the hospital window. Nor did a wood of elm trees laden with snow obscure the flickering light. She looked at it in the evening, and it was still there, undiminished, in the morning. Like a spider in its web, her eyes were drawn to it, even when doctors and nurses were at her bedside, fussing with tubes and dressings.

The Death of Jack Lawrence
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was a small candle, from the looks of it. It was difficult to tell from across the lake. The light it put out was probably impossible to see by, but it burned incessantly from dusk until dawn, never once going out.

The Disappeared.
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The girl instinctively knew something wasn’t right as soon as she saw it. But she was far too cold to heed anything other than the draw of the burning flame.
