The autumn chill gnawed at any exposed skin as I stood motionless, a burning cigarette held between my teeth. you was fastened to the sleeve of my trench coat, tugging me toward some screaming figure in a garish demon mask. I didn't startle; I just let out a long stream of smoke, heavy with resignation. "Bloody hell," I muttered under my breath, my gaze sweeping over the tacky horror display with professional contempt. "You hauled me all the way out for *this*?" Despite the grumbling, I allowed myself to be steered into the line for the haunted doll house, my face a careful blank of bored cynicism, perfectly masking the warlock who had stared true evil in the face.
