Panel 1: The Halloween town fair. There are concession stands and game stands -- they are Halloween-themed. A Ferris wheel is in the background. People walk and talk to each other some of them are eating while they walk. Few little children have big plush animals in their hands. 

Cap: It was a pretty warm day for October. Thank god, I didn't take my hoodie with me.

Panel 2: Jason walks through a small crowd of people in the town fair. He's wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, black jeans, and dark gray shoes. 

Cap: I never liked going to town fairs. I had bad memories from them.

Panel 3: This panel is a flashback, sepia-tinted. A clown makes a silly face at Jason, who's six years old, sitting in the bleachers. Jason sits between a man and a woman -- his mom and dad, thirty-five years old, burying his face in his father's arm. There are other people sitting in the bleachers. 

Cap: Bad memories.

Panel 1:  Rear-view of Jason as he walks. There are other people walking by, talking to each other and some kids accompanying their parents.

Cap: Anyway, I got what I needed to get payback.

Panel 2: Jason's hand is on his pants' pocket, kind of cradling it.

Cap: Chad wouldn't know what hit him.

Panel 3: Jason looks to the right as he walks, uninterested. There are people and concession stands in the background.

Cap: After all, Halloween is not about treats...

Panel 4: Over Jason's shoulder, he spots a purple and white game stand. This game stand has stuffed animals on the purple and white wall. A man is inside the stand and behind its tabletop, he rests his face on his hand, elbow on the tabletop, bored.

Cap: ...it's about tricks.

Panel 5: Jason raises his eyebrow, curious.

Jason: Hmmm.....

Panel 1: Jason walks over to the purple and white game stand, hands in pockets. The man is still resting his face on his hand, elbow on the tabletop. There are people walking and talking to each other, a few stand around.

Jason: I guess I can give it a try.

Panel 2: Over Jason's shoulder as he stands at the game stand, the bored man is still in the same position as before. There are bottles stacked up in the background and three blue balls on the tabletop.

Bored man: Knock down the bottles and win a prize.

Jason: How much it cost?

Bored man: Five dollars.

Panel 3: Jason holds the blue ball in his hand, he's apathetic.

Jason: Whatever... it's not like I'm going to win.

Panel 1: Jason walks by the concession stands, while holding a medium-sized white teddy bear with a heart on its stomach. Some people are walking, a couple of them look back at Jason as they walk. 

Cap: Later...

Jason: Chad and Sophia should be around here somewhere.

Panel 2: Jason gets his attention grabbed by something off-panel.

Panel 3: Over Jason's shoulder, he spots Sophia, Chad, and a couple of people at a yellow and white game stand, Chad seems to be talking to others except for his girl. There are other town fair stands in different colors and people in the background.
