You turn but they're gone, an eerie feeling washes over you like a cloak. You feel coldness seeping through your bones chilling you to the core. This is what you feel like in Hallo Town, the skeletons hanging in the trees, the wind whispering through the town.

Where everyone is mainly dead, Halloween Town.

A door slams and shutters rattle, the wind is blowing. Can you feel your blood turning to ice in your veins or the creepy sensation moving slowly up your neck.

Gravestones with names like Nightshade, Witch Hazel and Jack Skellington, once King of this god- forsaken ...

    I turn around, the unsettling feeling of something following dawns on me. A wave of mist rushes over to me and blurs my vision. Crows cackle into the dark night and I’m suddenly aware of how alone I am. I start running, the fear of a creature lurking in the forest is my worst enemy.

    Shivering in the blasting cold night, the words fear and death invaded my soul and lamentably waited for the deathblow. The darkness of the lemon orchard under the full moon hidden behind long, high parallels of cloud was accelerating my fear and advancing the idea of `suddenly disappearing` in my mind. I had never thought of death before. The rows of lemon tree standing like elite soldiers made me feel like an enemy soldier captured in war and was being taken to be executed by guillotine. A shotgun was targeted towards my head which made my eyes and legs become paralysed; thus I could not feel or sense anything. My eyes looking blindly and my legs walking briskly with the question” will I die” stuck on my mind like a tick attaches into skin.
