It was Halloween night when the neon glow of Stake.com flickered across Brandon’s screen. The site looked normal… until a new tab appeared on its own — “Eddie’s Room.”
Curiosity won. He clicked.
The chat loaded, but it wasn’t live support.
It was a single message:
“You’ve been chosen for the Halloween Spin.”
He smirked — probably a promotion. But when the wheel appeared, it was made of bones. The pointer dripped red. And the jackpot read only one word: SOUL.
The wheel began spinning by itself.
The lights in his room dimmed.
Then a camera feed popped up — his own face, staring into the screen.
“Welcome to the Stakehouse,” said a calm voice.
It was Eddie, but not from a video — he was talking to him directly.
“You wanted a lucky streak, didn’t you?” Eddie smiled. “Here, the odds always balance out.”
The wheel stopped. It landed on ∞.
A message appeared:
You’ve won eternal playtime.
Brandon laughed nervously. But his reflection in the screen didn’t move.
It smiled — wider, longer, unnatural.
And from that night on, every time someone clicked a “Halloween Bonus” link, a new face appeared inside the Stake.com jackpot wheel — smiling forever beside his.
