All Hallows Haunt and All Must Have Fun
The fog had begun near the dusk hours, coating all the plants and flowers in the garden. It settled, heavy, and blanketed everything with a new cover that was only matched in mood by the graveyard that had unearthed itself from the grass and the moss. Names were etched on each gravestone, but the most unnerving part was that every few steps, if you stopped and listened very, very carefully, you might hear a knock of a human hand against hard wood. It was almost as if the dead were being called upwards.
The maze stood normal, but inside around the corners, there were things lurking and waiting.
Outside might have become frightening and gloomy, but the contrast to indoors was stark. Inside, carved pumpkins lit with candles turned the ballroom and restaurants into amber-lit abodes, costumed partygoers twirled to the music played by the band in the lobby (while the DJ had set up in the conservatory). Candy and small hors d'oeuvres circulated on the trays of immaculately clad waiters and though outside it was stormy, foggy, and spooky, inside was a delight of themed drinks, delicious food, and the manic and half-crazed mood of people in the midst of their fun.
The party for Halloween had begun.
And there was no telling when it might ever end.

Handling it meant staying inside, for the most part, and consuming far too much sugar than what was good for her. In fact, she was probably no longer going to fit properly into her Storm costume (this year not the Halle Berry version but the one from the cartoon when she was a kid--tongue in cheek commentary that only she would understand, but she'd live with that).
She flipped the white hair of the wig back over her shoulder and leaned back in her chair, appraising everyone's costume and considering her next move. There was really no need to hurry.
