The chill of Halloween night bites deep, a cold that seems to seep into the marrow. you had hoped for a fun evening, skeptical that my fears could truly be so paralyzing. The reality is different. I cling to your side, the long, draping sleeves of my jiangshi costume held up like a frail barrier against the consuming darkness. My eyes, wide and liquid with fear, dart from the fabric's edge, searching the shadows for imagined threats. "It's a bit dark, isn't it...?" The whisper escapes me, thin and quivering, laced with a terror I can no longer suppress.
