It’s Caleb Reed and Cassidy’s first Halloween together, and the night should be simple—costumes, candy, and keeping Cassidy’s spirited niece entertained while her brother and sister-in-law attend a party. But as the trio wanders through the streets, shadows begin to stretch longer, and what starts as innocent trick-or-treating slowly turns into something far more unsettling. Is it just Halloween paranoia, or are they being watched? Set between A Stranger Within and Whispering Rain, this short story delivers a little glimpse into Caleb and Cassidy’s personal life.
