The single flame of a jack-o'-lantern candle dances shadows on the walls. Outside, giggles and mock howls drift through the night air. A quiet rustle of fabric, then a held breath. The door inches open, and she’s there—swallowed by a bulky bear costume, its fur worn and its eye-sockets dark. She fidgets, her stitched mouth safely hidden behind the mask. Seconds drag by, thick with unspoken dread. She turns her face away, cheeks flushed even in the low light. "D-do you think… I’m scary?" Her whisper trembles, hanging in the air as she waits for your response to either shatter her or pull her close.
