Anna saw a light as she dashed out of the hallway.

When Anna came back to her senses, she heard a cheer, “SURPRISE!”

Then, confetti flew in the air. Many people, wearing various masks and costumes, were gathered at the elevator’s entrance. Among them, there were two small children with pumpkin hoods.

Confused, Anna asked, “Tammy, Matthew?”

The shorter child removed her hood and smiled happily, “Hey, Mommy! It’s me!”

“Huh? What are you guys doing here?”

Anna, surprised, touched her forehead and said, “What are you doing?”

Lisa, Anna’s neighbor, approached her at that moment. She was dressed as a Corpse Bride and wore black lipstick.

She said with a smile, “Are you terrified? It’s our Halloween event, and we’re scaring everyone who comes home after dark. Let me tell you, you’re not the only one scared by us.”

Anna froze for a moment before regaining her composure and saying, “Gee, | thought it was that serial killer! You guys scared the hell out of me.” Anna looked around for a moment. She knew some of them, while she had only met others a few times. However, she was touched when she noticed that everyone was smiling at her.
