Lostinthewoods Stories

Three lifelong friends, weary of their daily routines, set out on a long-awaited 10-day adventure to reconnect with freedom, youth, and each other. What begins as a lighthearted escape filled with jokes and nostalgia soon takes a strange turn when they choose an unfamiliar forest path to shorten their journey. As they step into the dense woods, the mood shifts, and the line between reality and the unknown begins to blur. Their bond will be their compass as they navigate a journey that quickly becomes anything but ordinary.

If Trees Could Talk is a haunting psychological horror novel that begins with four friends-Jess, Marcus, Riley, and Leah-embarking on what should have been a simple weekend camping trip deep within an isolated forest. But when compasses fail, paths shift, and whispers drift through the mist, they discover the woods are more than just trees... and they do not want visitors to leave. As fear tightens its grip, buried emotions and fractured relationships rise to the surface, especially between Leah and Riley, whose unresolved love becomes entangled with the forest's growing darkness. Drawn deeper into a nightmare of living shadows, cryptic voices, and ancient secrets, the friends uncover evidence that countless travelers have vanished there before them. Then, one by one, they disappear themselves. Two years later, Leah's older brother Kyle-a former Green Beret haunted by her disappearance-refuses to accept that she is gone. Armed with little more than determination and accompanied by his loyal dog, Skip, he follows impossible clues to a forest that does not exist on any map. Technology fails within its borders. Time behaves strangely. The deeper Kyle ventures, the more the woods seem aware of him. As reality begins to unravel around him, Kyle discovers signs that Leah may still be alive somewhere within the forest's grasp. But finding her means surviving a place that feeds on the lost, manipulates memory, and lures its victims ever deeper into the shadows. Blending atmospheric suspense, emotional tragedy, supernatural terror, and survival horror, If Trees Could Talk is a chilling tale about love, regret, family, and the terrifying truth that some forests never forget those they claim. *New Part Every Thursday*

Dad kept on hitting the radio forgetting to keep his eyes on the road. DAD! Riley screamed Ahhhhhhhhh! (To be continued)

Fourteen-year-old Ana and her sixteen-year-old brother, Sam, are lost in the woods, cold, tired, and hungry. Their only hope is an old train station in the woods. When a train stops at the station, they are sure they are saved. The train seems familiar, like something from a story their Grandmother used to tell them, but the train isn't quite what it was in Gran's story. This story is an entry in the Open Novella Contest 2022. The prompt was "When Grandma told them about the train that comes once a year to take children to the land of dreams, the siblings thought it was just a silly old legend. But then, they heard a steam whistle in the middle of the night." I'm taking that idea but changing it pretty drastically. There's a grandmother, and siblings, and a train but that's about it. **Trigger warning- the story includes an attack of a sexual nature. The attack is not graphic.**

On the one-year anniversary of his father's death, Alastor Samuels sets out to prove himself-by venturing into the dense, unforgiving wilderness of Idaho's Salmon-Challis Forest Reserve, where he camped with his father as a child. To Alastor, it seems like the perfect place for a man desperate to prove his strength-both to himself and to the ghost of a father that still taunts him from beyond the grave. But a forest is like life, it's easy to get lost. Obsessed with perfection and self-control, Alastor believes that surviving alone in the wilderness will be his ultimate test of endurance. But when he becomes lost, the forest reveals more than physical challenges. In the suffocating silence of the wilderness, where every snap of a twig feels like a threat, Alastor must face the truth about himself as his pride, his ego, and his deepest fears all come to life around him. As his grip on reality slips, he must confront the possibility that he may never make it out alive. In this dark and suspenseful walk through the woods, The Path Last Travelled explores the haunting impact of an unresolved past, the weight of unspoken expectations, and the struggle to let go. The deeper Alastor goes, the darker the path becomes-and the more he realizes that some demons can't be escaped, only faced.
