Abigail woke up in a dust-clogged, musty room. She glanced around, her eyes taking time to adjust to the damp, dimly lit corners.
Spotting an ancient mirror, she noticed a little girl in a Halloween witch costume. The weird part was… she was not wearing any costume. Shrugging it off, she decided to explore the house, which rumour said, was built over an old witch’s grave.
Later that evening, visitors came. They merrily called out “Trick or Treat” expecting candies, but they were shocked to see the little witch from the mirror! They scrambled away tipping over buckets of candies they carried. It was then, Abby realised it indeed wasn’t any ordinary Halloween.
That night, she heard cackling laughter in her dream, or was it real? She got up and glanced at the same mirror, to find the little witch smiling back. Suddenly the mirror cracked and the witch vanished with a final cackle.
The next morning, news had spread. The little witch had scared everyone in the neighbourhood! Abby was a local legend. Little did they know, she was the scarer, not the scared. Now, every Halloween, they anxiously await the return of the one-night Witch of Hemlock Lane.
