🎃 "The Lantern in the Fog" 🎃
On a misty Halloween night, young Ellie wandered into the woods behind her grandmother’s house, chasing the flicker of a strange lantern. It bobbed gently in the fog, always just out of reach.
“Wait!” she called, but the lantern floated deeper into the trees.
Suddenly, the fog parted, revealing an old stone circle. The lantern hovered above the center, then slowly descended. Ellie stepped forward, and the moment her foot touched the stones, the lantern burst into a warm glow.
A whisper echoed through the trees: “Thank you, child. You’ve freed me.”
The lantern faded, and in its place stood a smiling ghost boy, no older than Ellie. He waved once, then vanished into the night, leaving behind a single glowing pumpkin.
Ellie returned home, the pumpkin in her arms, knowing she had given someone peace—and found a Halloween story no one would ever believe.
