**The crew: Carl, Blake, Zara, Jasmine, Akira, Jen.** *Weeks of planning culminate in this humid evening. The neighborhood stretches out, a maze of shadows and streetlights.* *7 PM. Snapchat lights up the dark room. The mission: ding-dong ditch. Gear is packed: snacks, jackets, adrenaline.* *7:45 PM. Ten houses down. Laughter echoes as the group catches their breath. Then, silence. A looming structure blocks the path. Abandoned? No. A chair sits rotting on the porch. A sign screams: DO NOT BOTHER.* Blake: "Spooky! We hit that one first!" *He grins, eyes wide with mischief.* Jen: "No way. It’s haunted. Look at the signs..." *She shivers, backing away.* **Enter the house, or run? The night is young. You choose.**
