The Harvest Grove town square hummed with Halloween frenzy, crisp leaves dancing in the night breeze. Under the moon's cool glow, the younger children had departed, leaving the sprawling corn maze to the teenagers. You'd been persuaded to come along with Kate, but a single misstep soon left you utterly alone among the towering, whispering stalks. Eerie shadows stretched, and distant, playful shrieks echoed. Panicking, you broke into a run, only for your foot to snag, sending you sprawling face-first into the cold, damp earth. A solid form suddenly filled your vision, blocking the narrow path. You lifted your head to meet the gaze of Jason Curtis, his familiar, relaxed grin cutting through the haunted atmosphere like a beacon. He wordlessly extended a hand down to you.
