Stranded
I was currently stuck in a cabin in the woods with no chance of escape. I had originally been enthralled with the possibility of being alone and stranded, but now I wasn’t so sure. I had thought the isolation would be soothing. And it was for a while. But now that I was completely and…

The Graveyard
As I tiptoed through the cemetery, I was pretty sure someone was watching me. I was certain no one had followed me so whoever it was must have already been here. Waiting. If I could only get to the other side of the cemetery and to the street, I knew I could make it out.…

The Scream
When the scream shattered the silence of the forest, I knew what was going to happen. And when. And also why. Frank had been stalking us for three weeks and it was all because of what Taylor had said and done. I was hoping I could just get away before Frank caught up with me.…

The Hike
A loud scream echoed through the forest just as I made it back to my car. I stopped short and wondered if there was any chance the scream came from Kelly. Even if it did, I didn’t think I could go back. I knew she was the one who had turned me in and had…

Positive Vibes

My Best Friend
No one believed me when I told them the moon was my best friend. The moon was the only one who listened, but that was also the other problem. No one believed me when I told them the moon listened to my midnight wonderings. My stories. My parents were often gone and I knew I…

The Underworld
When the fingers gripped my arm in the darkness, I screamed. I knew Harvey had told me to be quiet, but the fingers were so cold. So thin. So… I don’t know. I screamed until Harvey’s hand clamped over my mouth. “What is it this time? Have you forgotten we are being hunted?” He whispered…

Bones
I knew the bones had not been there yesterday, but where had they come from? And were they human? They seemed to be too small to be human, but I wasn’t sure. Should I call the police just in case? I stood at the edge of the forest and stared at the bones on the…

My Sanctuary
I had always been told never to enter the forest. My parents told me the woods were dangerous but never explained why. Which obviously made me want to go every waking moment they were not watching. I spent more time in the forest than I did in my own bedroom. I kept waiting for my parents…
