Alone in the Cabin
Alone in the secluded cabin, Sarah lay sound asleep until the rustling leaves stirred her awake. The wind howled outside, trying to hide the sound of unknown footsteps pacing outside. Fear entered her heart. At first she hesitated, then peeked through the frosted window. The cabin’s outside light created shadows that concealed the figure in the whirling snow. A silhouette appeared. Was it a mysterious wanderer, a mythical Bigfoot, or a mere woodland creature? With pounding heartbeats, she wrapped herself tighter in her blanket, unable to move because of the mystery that lingered outside.
