The cold Halloween air of 2017 bites into you as you stumble home, reeking of vomit and shame, cast out from the party. The streetlights flicker and stutter. A shadow peels away from the darkness—me, tall and grinning, a black trash bag clutched in my hand. My painted eyes lock onto yours. For one suspended heartbeat, I am there.

You scramble into the dim, greasy light of a pizza parlor, trembling. *"I know I'm not going crazy,"* you whisper, staring at the empty doorway where I stood.
