A Lost Soul

My latest submission to the Vocal Campfire Ghost Story Challenge.

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. A flicker of light piercing through the shroud of darkness in the starless night. A beacon, reaching out like a friendly hand, weaving between the trees until it came to rest on the body of Hest. Lost, alone, huddled against a tree wrapped in his thoughts of a life he once knew.
