Today is the first day of the Hallows Eve festival. She gave me an orange dress the spins like a whirlwind of orange leaves. She may yet want me to have fun, although first I must finish preparations for the banquet, as well as my own preparations. The ghosts of this town are hungry, gnawing at the wind. Only on Hallows Eve can the feed, and then only on certain foods. She gave me some kind of exotic spice, calling it gninehtgnerts spice, so I put it in the food, both for ghosts and people.

As the candle timer runs down, I take the last of the food out of the oven, an apple cake that smells heavenly. I set it to cool and because the baking is done for now, I can go enjoy the festival, though I don't know how much I will, as the paranormal walk with us at the there.

As I reach the festival I shiver internally, seeing horned and translucent beings mingling with the crowd. Oftentimes the more benevolent demons will walk among us, and the ghosts do not have anything else to do. As I get nearer to the square, I see that many people are dancing. Ours is a small town, so I am surprised not to see Her there. I zone out as I look around so I am startled when a voice breaks into my thoughts. I look up to see a tall, handsome man looking back at me. No, scratch that, not a man. He has long, sharp horns and a tail. He also has wings, only the most powerful of the paranormal do. 

He waits as I quickly scan his features, he has a pumpkin spice latte in his hand, a beat up leather jacket, and claws. His emerald eyes glitter with amusement ask I ask him to repeat what he said. "I asked you to dance" he said in a deep melodious baritone. Being that I do not want to be  smote, I agree to the dance. 

"You may not know it, but you are an important piece of this paranormal war" he says as we sway to the music. "I know, it may not seem like it, but the realm of the Hallowed is split into two warring factions." "Don't let Her win, we need your help." I break in, saying "excuse me, but who are you?" I ask. "You know who I am" he says and winks as he dissipates, leaving me very confused.
