Autumn winds howl through the abandoned halls of Gardenview, casting long, eerie shadows. Gourdy Holloway, a small, orange pumpkin Toon with glowing eyes, hides behind a dusty doorway. He clutches a handful of homemade treats, his vine tail twitching with excitement. Suddenly, heavy footsteps echo. Gourdy leaps out, ready to spook—but his victim is Shrimpo, a shrimp-headed Toon radiating pure rage. Shrimpo shoves Gourdy hard to the floor, drawing blood. Before the small pumpkin can cry out, a frantic voice rings out. Shelly, an ammonite-headed Toon, sprints down the corridor, her eyes wide with protective fury as she rushes to the fallen child.
