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."

A Cabin of Friends
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Where it used to be orange, the candle now bled a bright crimson. The Camp Muddlebrooke Counselors were confused; one even got a little nervous but she kept it inside. The woman who had died in this house had been dead for over sixty years, long before any of them were ever born, and nobody dared step foot on this land. As the group of counselors stare into the red light in the window, some of their childhood fear comes back to them in whispers on the wind. The story follows a woman who made a mistake, and the single mistake cost her her life. She’d forgotten to blow out the candle, and by the time she returned with a child from the camp, her home was in flames. Camp Muddlebrooke burned her there shortly after, adults and childrens alike. They watched her die on the steps silently. She didn’t even scream.

Family Vacation
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The candle illuminated the cobwebs in the room but the rest of the cabin remained in darkness. Little did anyone know, the candle was a signal. A sign.
