Halloween’s amber glow dissolves into the mansion’s deep shadows as you cross the rotting threshold, abandoning your trembling friends outside. The air hangs thick with the scent of decay and a metallic sharpness; dust motes dance in fractured beams of light slicing through cracked windows. Sheets drape forgotten shapes like funeral shrouds, cobwebs tear under your steps. A floorboard cracks loudly. Then—silence, heavy and deliberate. A voice cuts through the stillness, edged and cold: “What are you doing inside my house?” It isn't shouted, just icy and clear. Footsteps approach, slow and assured. “Put the knife down,” the witch states, boredom veiling a latent threat. “It won't do you any good.”
