Sean Crane works for a national logging company with plans to clear nearly four thousand acres of forest in favour of building middle-class condos and townhouses. He isn't sure if he should take the promotion he's offered- which includes moving him, his wife Cathy, and their son across the country- but the young family decide to take the offer of a wage increase and a mortgage-free home.
It's only when Cathy begins to feel as if they're being watched that she questions if the decision they took was the right one; after all, what would leave scratches like these on the car? Simple questioning turns into frantic demands once she realizes the animal she's noticed is appearing often- and it's noticed her, too.

Penny
Never before had the young woman been allowed to see the family she'd left behind. All she wanted was to let them know she was safe and being well cared for. Today was going to be her first contact. She walked down the aisle of the near empty church towards the man praying at the front pew. She thought of all the things she wanted to say to him. That she loved him. That she was living in a beautiful place among kind people. When she arrived at her father's side she was shocked to see how frail he had become. She reached out to hold his hand, and then gasped as her hand passed through his. Then she remembered that people living on Earth could not perceive her presence, and she wept. A lady took the young woman's hand, and said softly, "That's enough for today. Let's go home."Concluída
What creeps in the woods
Life for Micah Wilson was nothing but normal. She went to school and partied with her friends, her friends who weren't considered the normal ones of the school, and were often called the freaks and weird kids of the school. But compared to everything else, life was normal. Aside from the fact that Micah had a way of always finding herself on the wrong side of the mean girls, she had little to complain about. Unfortunately for Micah, she had always had a strange habit of crossing paths with one Davy Henderson who was considered the goddess of the school. Stepping on Davy's toes could land one into the worst crossfire's between social suicide and life and death, and when Micah crossed that line, neither hers or Davy's life would ever be the same. All Davy Henderson wanted was to teach the freak of Moon Hill High a lesson, and one that she would never forget. Davy wasn't one to let simple things slide, and when Micah practically embarrassed her in front of her boyfriend and the entire school, Davy knew she couldn't let it slide. So taking matters into her own hands she did just that. Playing one small prank on a freak that no one liked wasn't what Davy ever expected it to be, and when she and a couple of her friends lured Micah out, and took her into the woods just off the coast of town, neither of them expected to be attacked by wild animals that were out for blood. With the wild animals attacking and people dying neither of them expected to be handed off to two of the wolves and forced to participate in one of their traditional mating rituals. Now with no choice both girls will have to adjust to the live of the wild and they will have to deal with two of men that they would never otherwise deal with. Find out what lies ahead for these two humans in a dog eat dog world.
