Minor edit...
The hearth sat
crooked. It's pitted
stony face rested heavily
on grimy soot covering
rotted wooden planking.
The last surviving ember
surrendered to cold ash.
Opposite the hearth,
sat a splintered rocker.
Utilitarian but well built,
it stood firm against the dead
weight, while it's knotted
creaking feet sheltered the floor
from decay and drops of crimson.
A wooden door defending
breathless freinds from icy
swirling fog that surrounded
the cabin had just recently
lost the war.
Footsteps and screams faded into the black.
