Children, gather close, for the night grows strange. The air turns crisp, and the moon, pale and round, watches from its throne above. Shadows lengthen across the cobblestone paths, and every leaf that tumbles seems to carry a secret. It is Halloween, the hour when the ordinary world tilts ever so slightly, and the curious slip between its cracks.
You may hear the gentle rustle of costumes—ghosts with sheets whispering, witches with hats bending in the wind. Laughter rings out, but it is not the laughter of day; it is the laughter of brave hearts seeking sweet treasure behind doors of creak and rattle. Pumpkins glow like watchful eyes, their grins crooked and knowing, as if they have seen this night a hundred times before.
Do not fear the shadows, for they are old friends on Halloween. The black cat in the alley may tip his head in greeting. The wind may sigh your name as it dances past. Walk boldly beneath the silver moon, and you may find that the night, though cloaked in mystery, is full of wonder—and just enough mischief to make your heart race.
