"Welcome to the hauntiest of houses!"



Streber yelled with his signature tone, the kids screamed in excitement. Others cried for their parents who's forcing them to go in the spooky house, Streber actually enjoyed this because he'll be the one who'll greet them first and encourage them to enter

Once he drag them on a mirror, he motion them to enter. Screeching of horror can be heard inside which made Streber guilty for frightening the little kids, this part of their life will traumatise them for a while. Maybe he can tell his friends to not overdo the scaring but where's the fun in that?

He hid inside the entrance of the haunted house again and waited for more people to scare or even visitors

Alas, it's Halloween. And Kevin hated every single ticking clock that passes through the night. What awaits the danger for him to confront and witness the every brink of his lifetime again and again

He tapped his fingers loudly in the counter table. Every now and then, kids will be entering his stores and they'll ask for candies




"afterall it is Halloween"




They reasoned, Kevin find that excuse laughable but he's dying inside to be able to laugh. To let them leave and stop pestering him, he gave them some free candy and let them exit the candy store

He can't be rude to the future customers so he let a smile and say the worst possible words that came out through his mouth




"Happy Halloween!"




Gosh, he just wanted to rinse his mouth a couple of times after that. It's like mental and physical torture for him to live up to this stage

He goes back into dazing again, he wonders why he's feeling unfulfilled today. Like nothing in the world matters to him about it's beauty and it's nature, he would love to see winter after this. The calm and cold season of the year that made him so relax for some reason

Maybe drink some hot sugar and sit outside while watching the kids hit each other snowballs and one bleds out because his friends accidentally wrapped a rock between that snow and led the other to go to the hospital for a stitch surgery as the other one was crying out loud saying he 'didn't meant it' and they were having fun in the fluffy yet evil snow

...

He smiled at the kids who received their candies, he mustered a smile and watched them run away in their cheeky little grin, a woman entered the store. Twiddled her fingers towards those kids to signal them to go away

Kevin find that offending, she approaches with her hands of her hips looking everywhere but him




"what would you like ma'am?"




Kevin said with a smiling closed mouth, Rick passed by them. Carrying a box of candies to refill the empty storage




"not you"




Kevin bitterly smiled, this will be a long night

She finally left the store, oh how Kevin hates that kind of woman. He slouched on the table, physically tired of grabbing two of everything. While he's trying to rest his hands from grabbing candies, The bell above the door rang and he glared at the person who entered. It is a two kids with a pumpkin and skeleton-

...

Wait




"Oh, no."
