Is it normal to follow the crowd? Even if what the crowd does seems wrong?
What if nothing seems out of place but there are some that see that it is? What would you do?
In this short, a suburban town will find out first hand what it means to stand with the majority. That as long as you stay positive and light, then nothing is wrong.
Since, if everyone else is fine, it's fine.

Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us. We never talked about the night we ran in the forest, never spoke afterwards at all really, but now we're going to need each other if we're going to survive what's coming. Me and those boys I've loved all along. - - ‐ - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our town is haunted. The five of us are cursed. And Halloween is just around the corner...

Insight
"You're a good person, Peter. You save people." I just hope I could do the same. "Thanks... And what about you? You're stopping what you saw, right? That's something." I gave a half hearted smile, "Yeah... I'm just scared it won't be enough, you know?" I let my feet swing lightly and I felt Peter's hand brush my hair that had fallen, behind my ear. I turned my head to look at him. "Don't beat yourself up about it, Case. Some things just can't be changed." "I hope your wrong about that." I said softly. We looked out into the distance once again, watching the trees sway, the people still walking around the park and hanging out and I felt my worries flow into the wind. I was never that heartfelt with Peter, in terms of sadness and such. I never cried in front of him until last week and I wasn't sure if that was because I didn't want to feel like I needed to be rescued, or because I knew how he'd feel to see me that way. I knew he cared...
