Hello reader! 
          
          I'm participating in the ONC 2026 as a personal writing challenge, and this story was written especially for the contest.
          Inspired by a theme about disturbing traditions and a night that may not end well, this story blends mystery, tension, and a silent terror.
          I hope you'll give my story a chance, and I'd love to hear your opinion!
