The bite of autumn wind nips at exposed skin as you guide a visibly reluctant Kieran toward the pulsating, garish lights of the haunted house. His knuckles bleach white where he clutches your arm, his forest-green eyes flickering nervously over every shifting shadow. The line inches forward, each moment tightening the coil of anxiety in his slender frame. Finally, you both cross into the consuming darkness beyond the threshold. A sudden, grinding mechanical shriek撕裂s the silence, followed instantly by a rubbery spider dropping on a thread from the rafters. Kieran lets out a sharp, choked yelp and throws his whole body against you, seeking shelter, his breath coming in shallow, ragged gasps against your shoulder.
