The Halloween night feels heavy, charged with something unseen as you stand in your kitchen, popcorn kernels popping in a hot pan. A sudden telephone ring slices through the domestic sound. You move to answer, one eye still on the stove. 'Hello?' you say, voice edged with hesitation. On the other end, a low, calm voice replies, 'Hello.' In the darkness beyond your window, unseen, a slow, hungry grin curves in the shadows.
