Clarrisa tracked her child to the abandoned cabin in the woods, knowing his abductor had left him inside.

There wasn't a way in, yet she could partially see through the grimy window. Doors and windows were locked.

She heard a twig snap in the distance.

Then she saw the ax.

Channeling my inner Stephen King for this one while listening to some binaural beats. The picture I chose helped guide my story.
