Moonlight seeped through the dead trees, and crepuscular rays shined down onto the
lonesome cottage like spotlights shimmering in a dark night sky, highlighting how moss
oozed through cracks in the wooden walls like water through a cupped hand. Only
accessible by a long, grimy, twisted, muddy dirt pathway, the house’s uninviting exterior
environment was eerie enough, let alone the horrors that awaited inside. We hadn’t heard
of it until not long ago, yet rumours had been spreading like wildfire over the last
couple weeks, the house becoming so infamous that few dared to even speak of it.

What a cozy little place to live.
A super nice person must live there.
Surrounded by dead trees, the cott wasn’t very large, probably only able to fit one or
two people. Vines hung down from the gutters, blocking out the cracked windows and
creaky, broken doors. What was once a beautiful front garden had now been invaded by
weeds, with the occasional accompaniment of a fragile, grey, long-dead rose. The gable
had gaping holes in it, like an old wedge of cheese, allowing droplets of rain to fall in,
probably puddling inside.

I wonder if there’s candy there.
Obviously, only one way to find out.
October. I threw the blankets off my bed, catapulting myself off the comfortable mattress
into the cold morning air of my bedroom. Unlike myself, the 31st had rolled over like a fat
man in bed. It was a cold, spooky, rainy day. But that wasn’t going to stop me. I immediately
got to work on finishing my costume. I swiped the bedsheet from my bed, tore my scissors
out of my stationary cup, and cut two large eye-holes into it. I threw the sheet on and started
ran outside. I hopped on my pink bike and rode off into the sunset.

Man, this house is actually really far away.
I really should’ve planned this better.
By the time I found myself on that infamous dirt road, I was sweating, panting, and smelt
like sewage. I prepared my plastic jack-o-lantern basket and rode up to the cott. I didn’t
stop the bike. I simply stuck my foot on the left pedal, dismounted the seat, and hopped
off, letting my bike crash into the house’s front porch. I strolled on up to the house,
knocked on the door, and watched as a pale white face greeted me, it’s sharp talon-like
teeth smiling.
“Trick-or-treat!” Was something behind me?
