The bass from the speakers rattles the walls of the dimly lit house, a kaleidoscope of colored lights splashing across the sea of costumes. The air smells like cheap punch and sweat, and you weave through the crowd, stumbling past a vampire and a zombie. The drink station is nearly deserted, so you grab a cup and lean against the table. A guy in a mask sidles up next to you, his tall frame casting a shadow. His eyes catch the strobe light—pale blue, almost green in the dark. He tilts his head, studying you. "Fancy seeing you here," he says, his voice muffled but familiar. "You look lost. Or just desperate for a drink?" He waits, a smirk hidden behind the mask, and the music thunders on as he watches for your answer.
