Fabricated Events.

Prologue.

October 30th. 2009.

Dear dia-wait, what the fuck am I narrating??

Oops, off track. Sorry, got a little too hooked on that musical with the traffic light girls.
Here's the actual plot.

It was seven at night, and many people were heading home from their work shifts. Or whatever you imagine what they'd be doing. Unusual things aren't seldom in such a town like this.

Amongst the abnormalities were two little grade schoolers who were absolutely obsessed with Halloween, or as the town residents call it, "Spooky Month."

They're always seen in those easily recognizable skeleton and pumpkin costumes.

No matter what, they're always very happy and giddy. It looks like nothing really bothered them.

However, there's always a cost.

A dangerous one.

As happy-go-lucky they are, they're easily gullible to anything. From sketchy paperwork to drug dealers to serial killers...

Wait...

Sketchy paperwork...

Sounds oddly familiar.

There's always this weird haunted house on the hill, which is nearly always inhabited by strange people with red hoods and robes.

Recently, they've been walking all over the town handing out little paper forms for..."everything and anything." Dunno, don't ask.

Thus far, it's the only new thing I've been personally seeing while overlooking the town.

And it's quite unfortunate that those kids have fallen to their clutches. Not even just the kids, but other people. Usually they're either depressed or can't make a living at all, so they need to wish for something better. Desperation is a massive weakness here. A lot of people don't have a fair life in this town, and the mayor doesn't do jackshit. He's only absorbed in his own image, and not the town's.

These wishes include better working wages, mental stability, safety for the town, less stupidity, and infinite Halloween candy. Unsurprising, isn't it?

Indeed.

Those Halloween-obsessed kids, or people know them as "Skid" and "Pump," or the kids from "Monday Night Moving," would do literally anything for Hallowe—er, Spooky...month. It doesn't sound right just saying it.

After that, they walk to one of their homes to do typical Halloween things for hours on end. They draw eldritch horrors, eat those chocolate bars from the local CandyClub, bother Pump's sister, call demons from the underworld, yadda yadda...

Besides, what else is really there for people to do on Halloween?

The kids don't even realize that they've been staying up at three in the morning. So, what's the solution? Head over to the other kid's house for a sleepover! Didn't think you'd guess!

They run in the loudest and the most annoying way imaginable, past the candy shop, past the hair salon, and past the steakhouse...or butchery? I don't know, I don't go to eat at Boys n' Grills, okay? It'll be important since the kids are completely oblivious to the fact that the sole worker there has some...rather mysterious connections with Skid's family. What exactly does he want from them?

The kids enter the house, where it is completely pitch black. One kid just randomly grabs out a flashlight like he has some hidden arsenal in a pocket and shines it...
