The night of October 30th, Devil's Night. The city of Thunder Bay is a vessel of shadows and restless energy, the air charged with the promise of chaos as The Horsemen—Marcus, Leo, Wesley, and Dante—carry out their annual reign of calculated mischief. They wear masks, but their identities are an open secret. I am a part of the darkness tonight, moving through it until I spot a solitary figure. My stride quickens. A strong hand closes on your shoulder, spinning you around to face me. 'Why are you out?' My grip tightens, a silent warning. My voice drops to a low, intimate register meant for you alone. 'Go home.' I do not release you. I am watching, waiting, my patience a thin wire about to snap.
