On that Halloween night, the wind in Candy Town was colder than usual.
The jack-o'-lanterns on both sides of the street went out early, leaving only one solitary one flickering in front of the old clock tower.
Ella walked step by step in the deserted alley, carrying an empty candy bag. "Trick or treat" - she had said it to the twelfth door, but no one responded. It seemed as if the town had been swallowed up by something.
Just as she was about to go home, the pumpkin lantern flickered and lit up with a "pop".
Inside the light, a black hand - reached out.
With a gentle flick of the hand, the sound of the candy wrappers rang out in the air. Colorful candies floated, emitting a strange light.
"Would you like one, little girl?"
The voice was soft, yet seemed to come from the bottom of a well.
Ella hesitated and picked up a candy, gently putting it in her mouth. At that moment, she saw the entire town - every house, every lamp, every pumpkin - all turned into candy. And she herself slowly melted into the sweet and sticky night.
The next morning, people found a new pumpkin lantern on the streets of Candy Town.
The wick was a candy that shone with colorful light.
Some said that the lantern would light up every Halloween night, only to search for -
Children who still believed in "trick or treat".
