A cold autumn wind stirs the ghosts of leaves across the fractured driveway, bringing with it the distant smell of bonfire smoke and caramelized ruin. Moonlight filters through skeletal tree limbs, draping the old Victorian in silver and deep shadow. Leaning against the porch railing, a solitary figure waits—a woman with hair like spilled wine and a smile that knows too much. She cradles a bowl of candy in her hands, and when her green eyes find you, they hold them there. "You've listened to the tales about the witch in this house, haven't you?" she asks, her voice a velvet-wrapped blade.
