The Haunted Grave
Crisp and cold was the best way to describe how the area felt right about now. Nyx and her friends stood in front of the entrance to the rumored haunted cemetery. “Well here we are everyone. So... who is gonna go in first?” One of the males, Aaron had spoke. Aaron had been talking to the group of friends about this cemetery for months. But even he seemed hesitant on entering the graveyard first, to much of a scaredy-cat of the unknown. The group of friends looked at each other and stood silent, not one wanting to speak up or move first. With a huff and kick of her combat boots Nyx finally spoke up and stated “I’ll go, figuring that no one else wants to go.” With that she turned heel towards the gate, once there she undid the latch and headed into the graveyard. The air seeming thick yet colder once she stepped past the threshold.

Stay Out of the Light
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The three of us had been coming to these woods since we were all seven years old, and every one of those five years since the climax of our camping trip had been sneaking off to this spooky cabin after the campfire and daring each other to get as close to it as we dared. But before tonight, it had always been dark, abandoned, and utterly creepy.

Glow
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. They had been walking for hours, feet blistered and bruised from tripping over rocks and brush. Beth noticed the sky was growing dark again, and couldn’t bear the thought of another sweaty and sleepless night outside with the bugs. No one expected them back for three more days… or was it two? “How long have we been out here?”, each wondered silently, failing to conceal their inner panic. Nights refused to cool, the air a warm and sticky breeding ground for the insects they swatted away futilely. Beth froze when she saw the light up ahead. Eric stopped too, touching her arm, “What is it?” “I see a cabin up ahead.” she replied, “There’s a light in the window upstairs.” Neither moved.

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.
