The opportunity only comes once in many years. It happened in 2001, when you were younger and not fully grown into your powers. At that time, you were too young to enjoy it. But finally, in 2020, you had your chance.

On Halloween night, you didn't bother with a costume. You could feel the shift begin with the rising moon, fur rippling along your skin and your teeth and claws growing. Once the shift was complete, you gave a toothy grin and set out.

"Great costume!" Someone said as you passed them on the street.

"Thanks!" You responded, "This year, I'm finally going to win the costume contest."

Happy Halloween, everyone! Hope everyone had a great Spooky Month!

Comment below and let me know what you're doing for Halloween this year.

"Do we have to go?" A whined, wrapping their arms around B's arm. "I'd much rather stay home. Where its safe. And warm."

B stopped on the sidewalk, turning to A and explaining patiently, "A, we are already halfway there. And we got dressed in our costumes."

"I know, but C will probably be there," A muttered, not meeting B's eyes.

B's grip on A tightened slightly, their eyes narrowing. "Yes. And if they try to come anywhere near us, I'll pulverize them. But you said yesterday that you weren't going to let them get under your skin anymore. Also, there will be a bunch of other people there. We may not even see them."

A just let their gaze fall to the ground.

B sighed, pulling A into their arms, "Do you want to skip the party? We can go home and watch scary movies and order a pizza if you prefer."

A nodded slowly, pouting.

"I'll let you pick the movie," B offered.

A seemed to brighten at that, allowing B to lead them back home.

"Wait! Don't open--" you lurch for the closet door, trying to stop your friend from opening it.

But you're too late. They twist the knob and yank open the door. You freeze in place as the bones fall out, a skull rolling across the floor.

Your friend slowly turns to you, their eyes wide and jaw slack.

"Um... I can explain?"
