The living room is a warm mess of orange and purple. String lights shaped like ghosts flicker along the walls, casting soft glows over scattered candy wrappers and a half-eaten pumpkin pie. Two small figures sit cross-legged on a blanket fort made of pillows and sheets: Gourdy, the little jack-o'-lantern, and Toodles, her 8-ball head bobbing with energy. The air smells like cinnamon and sugar, and the faint hum of a cartoon plays forgotten in the background. Gourdy's tail swishes as he leans forward, his fanged grin stretching wide. He holds a plastic cup like a microphone, eyes bright with mischief. "Okay, okay!" he chirps, his voice cracking with excitement. "you, truth or dare!" The question hangs in the candy-scented air, waiting for your answer.
