But in the afternoon, Mr. Spark brought him to the kindergarten, saying he had a date and it wasn’t convenient to bring Tommy along.” The moment I said that, Kent’s shoulders jerked and he lowered his head in panic. Beside him, Holly looked up in utter disbelief.

Winter POV The pack grounds never looked like this before. Strings of orange lanterns hung between the trees, glowing like small captured suns. The scent of roasted corn and caramel filled the air, blending with the faint musk of wolves in human skin. Children ran past in tiny costumes, miniature witches with glitter-painted faces, little wolves wearing fuzzy ears that looked too big for their heads. Laughter rolled through the clearing like music. It was the annual Crescent Moon Halloween Fair, a tradition my mother insisted we keep every year. But this time, everything felt different. Maybe because of him.

Sweat trickled down his face as the rattling stopped. Eliseo waited, but there was no sound. He placed both hands on the door carefully and listened. He couldn’t hear anything.

One house went all out with the decorating. Classic horror icons stood in the yard along with a large pumpkin glowing behind them for an eerie effect. A picture of a black cat covered the entire front door. Eliseo stopped to admire the decorations. He wished he had a camera right now.

A logo I recognized from the news: Blackwood Bio-Medical Disposal. Three weeks ago, the company had issued a recall on several "Peacekeeper" models due to a suspected hack in the neural network, fearing that rogue code was being used to "retire" certain individuals by driving them to remote facilities. I had ignored the news. I thought my car was different.

There were other Halloween decorations on display along Brazier Drive, amid these sleeping Houses of the Holy. Richard noticed some window-cling mummies, and a bedsheet ghost in the trees. An autumn-harvest scarecrow with a pair of dullish orange pumpkins (whose fleshy insides must be turning to stringy, seeded mush with the warm September days) sat on the porch stoop next door.

OSTARA’S POV The week passed like a soft blur. The Halloween flavor competition had taken over Harvest Bloom. Someone had drawn a scoreboard on the break room wall. Every morning, new sticky notes appeared with flavor names that ranged from brilliant to borderline absurd. “Caramel Blood Moon.” “Pumpkin Praline Panic.” “Ghoulberry Crunch.” By Thursday, Sabrina’s absence still felt strange, but the team’s excitement had a way of filling the gaps she’d left.

As for where he was in the dark of night, well, he was right by my food stall. The audience easily guessed that something sinister was going on, and their discussion reached a fever pitch. [The newbie is done for. The players have started killing one another.] [The scariest part of this horror game isn’t just the ghouls. Sometimes players are even more ruthless to one another.] [Her cooking might be able to win over the ghoul NPCs, but it won’t do much against another player’s longsword!] [What’s she going to do now? Can someone communicate with Camden? I can spend money to convince him not to do it. I’ll spend whatever it takes!]

Mia had never been to a house party before, so her only references were from movies. She had to admit, this wasn’t far off. Trish had managed to get some Halloween decorations up and had borrowed her brother’s sound system to play music off. There was even two barrels of beer in the kitchen. Mia was sipping on the warm brown liquid now, still wondering how anyone could like the taste.

The entire grassy area was a sea of orange, peppered with kids racing around them and distraught parents trying to corral them. "Let's make a plan." Mike reached for her hand. It felt so comfortable and so right she wove her fingers with his. "What kind?" "Okay, how many of these things do you usually get?" "Four. One for each side of the front porch, one for the living room window and one for the back porch." He stopped. "Seriously? That's a lot of carving to leave for the last minute." She shrugged. "When Halloween falls during the week I buy the stuff early and do them at night. But since this year it's on Saturday I decided to do it all in one day."

Hannah said. I have a solution for that,” she said. We shall text people about it. We shall even post on F******k. While there, we post and send pictures to friends.” “It won’t work.
