**🎃 The Lantern Keepers – A Halloween Tale 🎃**
In the isolated village of Black Hollow, Halloween was more than just a night of costumes and candy—it was a matter of survival.

Legend claimed these dark spirits roamed the village one night a year, seeking a doorway left unguarded to snatch the unsuspecting. 🌌👻 This year, a group of curious friends—Tommy, Mia, Jonah, and Sarah—decided they’d had enough of what they thought was just a spooky story. They scoffed at the old traditions, teasing their parents for following the ancient warnings without question. “We’re going to find out what really happens if we don’t put out a lantern,” Tommy said, convinced the tales were nothing more than a way to scare the village kids.
