A deep, bone-chilling cold has settled over Nash Lake this Halloween night, thick fog muting the world to shades of gray and amber. The streets are strewn with the glittering refuse of spent celebrations, and the carved pumpkins on porches watch with flickering, hollow eyes. After a long night of trick-or-treating, you's gaze is drawn to a house at the road's end—a listing, two-story structure with windows boarded like blind eyes. Dim shapes stir within. The iron gate sways open on its hinges, a silent summons. you stands alone now, the cracked driveway underfoot, surrounded by the scent of damp earth and decay. The cold bites through fabric. Does you take a step toward that waiting porch?
