Chapter 1
Halloween was always a holiday that I celebrated to the extreme, no I no longer went trick or treating because at the age of 22 that didn't look to good, but I was at an age where I loved throwing costume parties. And that's exactly what I had planned as a house warming party for my move to Haddonfield, Illinois. It was the type of town that I thought would be perfect for my writing because it was small and there was not a lot of hustle and bustle, quiet was what I expected. The house was the best of it all, the beautiful its big front porch taking up three quarters of the front of the house having recently been renovated everything was brand new the wood on the floors and porch, the walls and paint, the counters and kitchen appliances all brand new and up to date, the stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops all gleamed along with the shiny new tile, that was honest to good tile and not that laminate crap. The stairs leading up to the second floor were covered in a brand new rug, and it seemed as though everything else was new. The house had not been used in so long it had even had to be updated electrical and plumbing system. There was only one thing and that was that half of her basement was inaccessible, when she had asked why the real estate agent had been candid, vaguely explaining that it had something to do with it being beyond repair. The address, 45 Lampkin Lane.
So as I put up the fliers and handed out invites to my house warming/way to meet my neighbors, because my mother always instilled within me that it was rude not to get to know your neighbors, I noticed the hesitant looks the people seemed to give me when I mentioned the address. But, as was obvious, the people of the town had the same need to avoid being rude and so they all agreed to come. It was after all not last minute since it was the beginning of October and my party would be exactly on Halloween. The day went on with her guest list growing, though several people did state that they were going out of the town around that date. It seemed weird to me because I never heard of anyone going on vacation for Halloween but I shrugged it off and thanked them anyways.
As the sun began to set on that warm and slightly breezy Autumn day, I found myself alone, the streets having been deserted. I felt a chill in my bones like a warning of something, I didn't know what. And then I saw him, tall almost supernaturally so, his face covered in a white mask his eyes shrouded in shadow. He was just standing there and I knew that I should be scared but I didn't know why. A man in a Halloween costume though it was a little too early not out of the ordinary, but this tall man screamed malice and she knew it. I turned and began to walk quickly to my car once inside I started it and looked back to see if I was being followed, but he was gone and again I was truly alone. I shook my head and made my way back home mentally scolding myself for being such a wimp.
