Summary

Deep in the woods, still waters run dark. This week on Drew Blood’s Dark Tales, we trade the noise of the world for the silence of nature—but something in that silence is listening. From acclaimed author Michael Marks comes a tale that blurs the line between solitude and madness, where reflection turns to obsession and the shadows of the mind are the hardest to escape. "The Pond" by Michael Marks – Burned out and longing for peace, Marcus retreats to a secluded cabin, hoping the quiet of the woods will restore his balance. But the stillness surrounding the nearby pond carries an unsettling weight, and Marcus soon finds himself drawn to its murky depths with growing obsession. As strange sounds echo through the trees and reality begins to twist, he’s forced to confront a darkness that may have been waiting for him all along. A haunting tale of isolation, unraveling sanity, and the quiet places where our demons wait to surface.
