It started one Friday evening. All of the goats were standing still, staring intently into the woods. They didn't move, they didn't make a sound. 

When a derelict truck is found in the driveway, Scott and his friend Gina search the wood lot out back to try and figure out who's truck it is and what they were doing. What they find is more terrifying than they could have imagined. A horror from ages past, returning to feed and reclaim it's title as the apex predator of the forest. 

The goats knew something wasn't right. Scott found out later just how wrong it all was.

The Bitten. by Itara13

"It was a cold, rainy evening. Nightfall was looming, making the surrounding trees cast vicious shadows onto the ground around me. All I wanted was to fix my flat tire, get on the road, get home. My wet hoodie was becoming plastered to my body, and the wind was picking up. I was trembling harder than the leaves. I took one last look around before I turned my attention back to my spare tire. And that was all it took. My name is Fawn Ellis, and this is how I made the wildest mistake of my life."

What Lies Beyond. by Moistixier

A group of teenagers wander into a forest for what they assumed was going to be the summer of their life, little did they know how unprepared they were for the things to come. (I'm horrible at descriptions) Content and Trigger Warning⚠️: This story will contain scenes with Blood, Gore and Violence, if you're not fine with stuff like this, I suggest you turn back. This is also one of the first stories I'm writing of this genre, do not expect to be blown away, my writing is not remarkable, I do this purely because I had an idea in mind. This story also heavily takes inspirations from many movies, expect to find some similarities.
