The Truth is Stranger by Anonymous for tekuates
Fandoms: Meet Me in the Woods - Lord Huron (Song)

Summary
Never go into the woods at night, especially not alone. His mother had said it over and over while they were growing up. People disappear and they don't come back. We’re a Christian family but there are things in the world that are old and powerful and you can’t pretend that something isn’t true just because you don’t like it.
Elliot had never thought anything of it until he was in fourth grade, when he’d realized that there were safety warnings for kids like "never get into a stranger’s car" in books and on TV, but they didn’t ever mention anything about disappearing in the woods or about the monsters that lived in the corn. He’d asked his mom about it and she explained that the TV studios were all in big cities where there were no forests or cornfields, so the people there didn’t know.

Summary
The fire cast golden light across the long line of his back, warming his pale flesh. He was thin enough the knots of his spine pressed against his skin and the edges of his ribs were a shadow just beneath the surface. When she drew near, he quivered, and she watched the motion flutter down his body. She could stroke his head, sooth him like the animal he was. Instead, she placed one hand on the side of his throat and dug her nails in.

Summary
This is a treat for tekuates whose prompts included a version of the story where the supernatural aspects are actually happening.
The narrator's name is not given in "The Yellow Wallpaper," but some readers have interpreted the Jane she mentions at the end of the short story to be herself. So I've gone with Jane for the narrator's name.
