It Awaits Us
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." There was word that someone had choked to death again and everyone in the cove who traveled to or lived near the inlet was adamant about finding the way out of the area. A call had been put out to search any and every structure and so, here we are, parked near the search and research site in the cabin, outside our homes, and .... well, waiting. We can not leave either. The campsites are just a small replication of our option... no, our potential for escaping. The girl down at the rookery, a photographer, was the last to be discovered... there was a black fungus seeping from her mouth and nostrils. No one has ever seen anything like it ... except, well there was a larvae bug. A larvae-laying bug that lays eggs inside the nostrils or any other moist opening on the body. (You should bathe often unless the only water is at the pond or open lake just there in the woods.) That cabin had been fairly empty... abandoned until now. The candle and all.. footprints and the sounds coming across the way here. Sounds like something knicking away at someone... the low burbling scream and all echoing in the darkening sky, so near. But the candle will only serve 'em for so long. We know that the black fungus takes hold in the darkness. The crawlers weren't the worst thing on the list at the mortician's office... they picked up a few new bodies that were loaded with the black running from their ears and streaming from... it's usually the uppermost extremities.. open sources, you know. But sometimes it gets into the lower spaces.. the wet most body area... like when someone laying open and waiting for an encounter... then catches the worst of infiltration. I think it's some kind of bug... like I said. But the professionals all got their way of figuring it out... tests and all. It just takes so long. Some time back it was the one that came up from the cellar of that same cabin. They brought out plastic bags... black plastic bags, then those dressed in toxic suits and all. The bags were taken to a lab and back here in the cove, a new law down. NO DEPARTURES. The tents are our best escape. (Keep the zippers shut during the dark and the colloidal spray... the mallow coating, slick during the day.) The moon is getting big overhead, and this is our worst hour... those first bodies were created by implants and no one is sure what the piercing is caused by... yet. Sure there's all sorts of bugs and there's all kinds of crazy people doing things, injecting instead of making cures; but it's... I think it's the bugs. But they were injecting us as the source... purging the harm out from us, but it's... it w-w-was put by the bugs... so many bugs from everyplace here now, in and on our everything. They have this sort of research lab going on in the cabin... tonight or longer, and other than injecting us... not vaccinating us, not the inoculation to be a cure-all, it's like they give us what they want to get out of us!

The chilling flame
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. A young man was wandering through the woods, only a daily walk however just happened to take a wrong turn as he wasn’t used to walking through the woods during the night.

The Ghostly Witch
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years,but one night,the candle burned in the window" Everyone knows the legend behind the witch who lived in the woods and no I don't mean the one who lived in a house made of sweets. I am talking about "Lilly the ghost" she is the legend parents would tell there kids right before bedtime, just one thought of this ghostly witch would give you nightmares of going into the woods alone.

Light in the Dark
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was such a small thing, insignificant to the darkness surrounding it. What could one candle hope to accomplish, awash in the black seas of infinity? What could it illuminate here, in this dank, decrepit dump? Dust? Decay?

The Bunyip
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Then another. Then two more. The nearby lake was black and still, and the thick eucalypt forest that was wrapped tightly around it stirred in the hot night air as it watched the log cabin glow for the first time after a long sleep.

Skimmerhorn Valley
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night a candle burned in the window. A group of cowboys had stopped on a boarder of an unknown forest and were starting to make camp there, despite the local natives’ warnings about this particular route. The ranchers were in a hurry to get back to their homes on the other side of the mountains however, so when they came to the split in the valley path that would lead them south, they voted to go north along the forest edge to save them a day’s ride instead. The seven men came across the small 500 square foot two story cabin just as it was about to get dark and decided it would be a nice change of pace to sleep inside on the wood floors and loft. A couple of hours before sundown, one of the men heads out to gather some firewood.

Slaughtered
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The cabin had been shored up, and my camping friends wanted to know why. I hesitated before telling them the truthful story about what happened on that fateful night when Benjamin Soul and his family mysteriously lost their lives. It was a story I had kept secret for many years so as to not stop campers from coming back here.

Hope
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. We were surprised to see the light, and excited. A sort of buzz went through my band, and several of us blurted out involuntary noises of excitement. Where there is a light like that, there are people.
