Creatures In The Woods

The Altar in the Mist

After a bitter divorce, Ellie Brooks moves to the isolated town of Graven with her nine-year-old son, Joey, hoping to start fresh. But their new home, perched on the edge of the mysterious Silent Lake, offers little comfort. The townsfolk are cold and distant, their eyes shadowed by something more than mere suspicion. And then there’s the lake—its misty surface rippling with whispers that only Joey seems to hear. As Ellie struggles to fit into the town, Joey’s behavior grows increasingly strange. He’s drawn to the lake, speaking of a voice in the fog that calls to him, promising answers to questions he cannot yet articulate. Desperate to protect her son, Ellie begins to unravel Graven’s dark history. What she uncovers chills her to the bone: a century-old pact to feed the lake’s insatiable hunger, a cursed altar hidden deep within the mist, and a malevolent force that preys on the town’s fears and guilt. The fog begins to thicken, creeping through the streets and into their lives. The townspeople, terrified of breaking their pact, turn against Ellie and Joey, seeing them as the next sacrifices to the lake. Trapped in a town that has surrendered to its own nightmares, Ellie must confront the horrors of her past and the terrors in the mist to save her son—and herself. But the lake does not give up its prey so easily. "The Altar in the Mist" is a chilling tale of fear, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. Weaving supernatural terror with deeply human emotions, it explores how far we are willing to go to protect the ones we love—and what it costs to confront the monsters both outside and within.

Into The woods

"There is a famous folklore about the woods among the nearby towns and villages. They say the woods have trees made of gold. They say the woods have animals and birds that speak human languages. They say the woods are filled with treasures hidden in every nook and corner." A young woman, intrigued, asked, "But then why does no one visit the woods?" The old woman, her voice low and heavy with warning, replied, "It's not because they don't want to, but because they don't dare. They say the woods have man-eating trees. They say the woods are home to monsters who are masters of deceit. And worst of all, they say the woods are alive, and they bring out the darkest parts of anyone who sets foot on their land." The young woman gasped, her curiosity tempered by a flicker of fear. The old woman leaned in closer, her piercing gaze locking onto the younger woman's. "The woods will lure you, entice you, and call out to you, whispering that you are special. But no matter what it says or does, don't go into the woods. If you value your life and your family, don't let greed guide your steps into their depths." The room fell silent, but the weight of the warning hung heavily in the air. The old women asks with a mysterious smile to the young woman and the people with her, "But! can you resist? Can anyone truly suppress the overwhelming desire to uncover the truth? the riches? the adventure? Will you heed the warnings-or succumb to the call of the woods? Step forward and uncover the secrets that await... if you dare."
