Midnight Horror Stories by Adrian Langford

Something Was Standing Between the Trees

Caleb and Jonah set out for a quiet hike, hoping to escape the noise of the world. But deep in the forest, they begin to notice something impossible — a figure that only appears when they’re not looking directly at it. It doesn’t move when watched. It gets closer when they blink. As the silence deepens and the forest begins to twist in on itself, they realize they may already be trapped — and whatever is watching them is waiting for the moment they look away.
