October is the month of spooks. Its the only month ghosts , spirits  and souls  can be seen everywhere, there will be skeletons hangings around in every yards. Its the only time when people can joke about killing and haunting without being judge or dragged by the police. But what normal people don't know, is that its the only month that killers, murderers could get away easily. They might pass you as a prop and people actually believe it.

Solef who lives down the street in 5th avenue forges killin' Rd in a small town, was pacing his living room for hours now. He was spacing out while walking wherever his foot were taking him. He was sweating bullets and mumbling over and over, " which way! which way? which WAY!!!"

He stopped and looked at the lifeless body of one of his workers. Solef hosted a last minutes meeting with a few of his workers. Solef is a coming up businessman whose business was growing, thanks to the viral video of an well known influencer who was unsponsored, promote one of his products. This 40 seconds of a video boosted his business to the sky.

But even before becoming famous, Solef was known to be a very respectable man in the public's eyes but a total jerk in person. He knew how to play it cool with the media and he is a genius on how to promote his products and himself in front of the media. Solef is supposed to lauch a new version of one of his products on Halloween but  being too busy promoting himself, he forgot completely about his deadline and now he was rushing things as fast as he could. 

Now he was working all day, everyday, nonstop and was forcing all his workers to work extra-hours to reach the due date. On Halloween night, he sent an email to all his designers to come to his place for an urgent meeting. But he was hitting on the face by his workers' responses. They were all out of town, to visit their loved ones,all expect one guy. He was new, more like an intern. He was free so Solef asked him to come. He came and they both started working.

While giving their opinions, Solef was getting pissed off by the new intern as he kept cutting and rejecting his ideas and giving "more" appropriates ones. This was making Solef mad but he controlled himself at least for a few hours. After a long debating and keep getting his suggestions rejected, Solef  was starting to getting steamed up. He eventually started to raise his tone and knocking things over at the intern. The latter was feeling uneasy at the situation and suggested to pause the meeting and resuming it later when the seniors will be available.

Unfortunately, Solef's temper was uncontrollable, and he lost it. The pressure and irritations made him have a mental breakdown, which the consequences appeared to be costly to the intern. Solef hit him multiples times on the head and stomach area with a stony vase. Solef continued to attacked him for hours. Blood were slashed everywhere in the room. 

Solef finally came back to his senses, but it was too late now. The body which could be identified the a living person, was turned into a Halloween type figuring. That was when Solef started pacing his living room too find a way to get away with this because he couldn't afforded getting into this mess just when his business was booming.

As idiotic it seem, Solef came with the plan of telling no one ever came, that everyone was too much busy with their personal stuffs coming on. And was thinking what to do with the body. He remembered in one of the movies he recently seen, there was one who the killer was displaying the bodies in their house, so he thought," displaying a body outside me house and its Halloween night, surely no one will be suspicious of that!"

So that's exactly what he did. He display the "mannequin" outside, on his  porch and whenever somebody asked he would say he got it custom designed for Halloween.

This was  years ago, and to this day no one suspected what happened that night. Solef just play one of his tricks by saying the intern was transfer to another company where extra help was needed. Now Solef knows if ever he needed to finish business with someone, Halloween night was the night....
