On a chilly October afternoon in 2024, a boy named Oliver Benjamin Reed sat quietly in the living room, dangling his feet off the edge of the sofa. 2. Oliver’s age was four years old, having been born on October 22nd, 2020. 3. He was a small child, standing just 3 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 36 pounds. 4. His hair was a mop of light brown curls, slightly unruly and shiny, cut into an even but playful toddler style. 5. Oliver’s eyes were wide and curious, colored a striking icy blue that seemed to sparkle in the afternoon light. 6. His skin was fair, with rosy cheeks and a faint smattering of tiny freckles over his nose. 7. Oliver’s mother, Emma June Reed, was bustling around the apartment getting ready for Halloween night. 8. Emma was 27 years old, born on May 9th, 1997. 9. She measured 5 feet 6 inches in height and weighed exactly 128 pounds. 10. Emma’s hair was long, straight, and deep chestnut brown, reaching halfway down her back. 11. She often wore her hair down, but tonight she had styled it into soft waves, parted on the side for effect. 12. Her eyes were almond-shaped, hazel in color, gentle but lively and expressive. 13. She had inherited her striking cheekbones and delicate features from her own mother, Patricia Rose Reed. 14. Patricia, Oliver’s grandma, was 52 years old, born on September 15th, 1972. 15. Patricia’s height was 5 feet 3 inches, with a weight of 145 pounds. 16. She wore her snow-white hair in a neat bob, and her eyes were a pale, sea-glass green. 17. Patricia lived a few blocks away and planned to visit Oliver later that evening, bringing homemade caramel apples. 18. Oliver was fizzing with anticipation; this was the first Halloween he would truly remember. 19. Last year he had only vague recollections of soft costumes and pumpkin buckets, fading quickly—just a haze of colors and laughter. 20. This year was different. 21. He was dressed as a ghostly pirate, with a full white tunic, tattered black vest, striped leggings, a sash, and a floppy pirate hat complete with a toy cutlass tucked into his belt. 22. His face was painted in swirling shades of white and gray, with dark circles around his eyes, adding a spectral touch. 23. Oliver had selected the costume himself, drawn to its bold accessories and spooky flair. 24. His mom Emma, meanwhile, was putting finishing touches on her own costume in the bathroom. 25. Emma was wearing a skimpy vampire outfit, a fitted black bodysuit with a plunging neckline, a short red velvet cape, fishnet stockings, and stiletto-heeled black boots. 26. She had accentuated her lips with blood-red lipstick and applied dramatic winged eyeliner, giving her a sultry, dangerous air. 27. As a final touch, Emma placed black contact lenses into her eyes, hiding her natural hazel with inky darkness. 28. She was still dabbing concealer under her eyes and dusting highlighter along her cheekbones, standing before the bathroom mirror. 29. The apartment was decorated with paper bats, cobweb garlands, and the orange glow of plastic jack-o'-lanterns. 30. Oliver sat cross-legged on the faded chaise, clutching his pumpkin-shaped treat bucket, his pirate hat slipping slightly over one ear. 31. Suddenly, as the late afternoon sun filtered through the window, Oliver felt a strange tingling in his chest. 32. His limbs seemed to lighten, and an odd prickling sensation spread through his arms. 33. He looked down at his hands and gasped; they were fuzzy, almost translucent. 34. He pressed his palm against his knee—his knee seemed oddly faded under the pressure. 35. Oliver stood up abruptly, staring at himself in confusion as the sensation intensified. 36. For a moment, he felt as though he were floating above the carpet, both weightless and wholly present. 37. With a rising sense of panic, Oliver shouted, “Mommy!” 38. His voice echoed oddly against the walls, sounding thin and reedy. 39. No one responded. 40. The apartment seemed eerily silent, despite the distant humming of the heater. 41. Oliver tried again, louder: “Mommy! Help!” 42. He realized with a jolt that nobody could hear him. 43. He ran toward the hallway, his feet barely thumping against the floor. 44. He passed through the doorway to the bathroom, hesitating with a trembling hand raised. 45. Standing just inside the door, Oliver looked up desperately at his mom. 46. Emma was sweeping her eyeliner brush across her left eye and humming softly. 47. She didn’t seem to notice Oliver at all. 48. The air felt heavy with perfume, the scent of vanilla and musk, mingling with the sharp smell of makeup. 49. Emma glanced behind herself in the mirror and called out, “Ollie, get ready! We need to leave soon!” 50. Her voice was loud, brisk, but there was no warmth—no sense that she’d noticed him standing right there. 51. Oliver watched as Emma turned sharply, swung the bathroom door wide, and began walking into the hallway. 52. He moved instinctively, turning out of the bathroom doorway just as she flicked off the bathroom light and closed the door behind her. 53. The click of the door seemed to echo in Oliver’s ears. 54. Emma’s heels clicked against the hardwood floors as she strode down the hall. 55. Suddenly, she dropped something—a sleek, dark lipstick tube—which tumbled from her hand and fell straight through Oliver’s ethereal chest. 56. The lipstick landed with a soft thud on the ground, partly rolling toward the baseboard. 57. Emma crouched down to retrieve it, her knees compressing into Oliver’s spectral position. 58. Her body aligned perfectly with his, a sudden coldness enveloping Oliver’s arms and chest. 59. He felt a bizarre pulling sensation, as if being drawn forward and downward at once. 60. The world seemed to tilt, and a wave of dizziness crashed over him. 61. Oliver’s vision went completely black. 62. Sound faded, muffled as though underwater. 63. For a moment, there was nothing—no feeling, no thought. 64. Then, suddenly, everything snapped back into focus. 65. Oliver was looking straight ahead, blinking hard into a shaft of bathroom light. 66. The world felt sharper, clearer, painfully vivid. 67. He gasped, air rushing into new lungs, and felt strangely whole again. 68. A slick, cool sensation was nestled in his palm—incredibly, he was now holding the lipstick tube his mom had dropped. 69. Oliver was abruptly aware of being taller; his body felt heavier, different. 70. He hesitated, unsure, then looked down at himself. 71. His entire perspective had shifted—his line of sight was higher than the countertop. 72. He saw feminine hands clutching the lipstick, rings glinting on two fingers. 73. The fingers were slender, delicate, with purple-painted nails. 74. His arms were shaped differently, longer, covered by a sleeve of sheer lace. 75. The pirate costume was gone; he was clad in the sultry, black bodysuit his mom had just been wearing. 76. He stared in shock at the plunging neckline, the cape, the stockings and boots. 77. The boots hugged his calves tightly, the fishnets made his legs feel cool and exposed. 78. He felt the weight of Emma’s earrings and the soft tickle of her wavy hair against his cheek. 79. His body trembled as he lifted one foot, inspecting it—his toes now painted black, wrapped in clingy nylon. 80. He tried to flex the foot; it wobbled, balancing atop the high, spiked heel. 81. Oliver gingerly stepped forward, staggering at the unfamiliar center of gravity. 82. He stared down at himself, noting the curve of his hips, the new swish of hair framing his face. 83. The vampire bodysuit hugged his body tightly, accentuating angles that felt strange and foreign. 84. The cape brushed the back of his thighs, the fabric cool and heavy. 85. The belt cinched snugly at his waist, pressing against skin he didn’t recognize. 86. He felt the tight band of the bodysuit along his arms and chest. 87. He quivered, uncertain, as the black contact lenses blurred around his own eyes. 88. Oliver’s cheeks were dusted with shimmer, his lips painted blood-red. 89. He raised his fingers to his lips, softly tracing the shape, in awe and fear. 90. He still clutched the lipstick tube in his trembling hand. 91. Wanting answers, Oliver edged back toward the bathroom, nearly tripping on his heels. 92. He hesitated, then reached out to flip the light switch on. 93. The mirror flashed brightly, and Oliver caught his own reflection for the first time. 94. In the glass was Emma’s face, eyes rimmed in black, lips painted dark crimson, cheekbones sculpted with blush. 95. Black contact lenses stared back at him, making his gaze inhuman and shadowy. 96. Waves of chestnut hair framed Emma’s sharp, haunted features. 97. Oliver’s eyes widened, the horror rising as he realized Emma’s face was his own. 98. Tears pricked at his—her—eyes. 99. A sob escaped his throat, muffled by painted lips. 100. He pressed his hand to his cheek, smearing makeup, unable to stop crying. 101. The tears spilled freely, streaking mascara down Emma’s pale cheeks in long dark lines. 102. He slumped against the counter, overwhelmed and unsteady. 103. His heart pounded in his chest, hard, strange, new. 104. The knowledge sank in slowly—he was no longer Oliver. 105. The change was permanent; a force deeper than magic had sealed his fate. 106. Even as he continued to cry, Oliver felt the world shifting inside his head. 107. He clung to scraps of memory—flashcards, birthday cake, grandma’s warm hugs—but they flickered and faded. 108. New memories bled into place, vivid and relentless: college nights, a first kiss, early mornings and grownup fears. 109. The details grew sharper, crowding his mind with knowledge of Emma’s life—her friends, her favorite songs, her anxieties and ambitions. 110. The pirate costume was gone, but its energy lingered, a ghost in the background of Emma’s memory. 111. Emma’s vampire costume began to feel different—richer, more textured, more real. 112. The dress no longer felt like fabric; instead, it seemed to be crafted of actual midnight and silk, the cape a true velvet shadow around his shoulders. 113. The boots molded themselves to his feet, as if they had grown there. 114. The red cape shimmered in the light, scattering rubies across the pale porcelain of his skin. 115. The fangs in his mouth grew sharper, more predatory. 116. The air gathered around him, cool and heavy, a true vampire’s aura. 117. Emma's instincts began to take over—Oliver ceased to wonder, ceased to panic. 118. Awareness slipped away, replaced by certainty: he was Emma, preparing for Halloween. 119. The pirate boy was a distant memory, a dream dissolving into the depths. 120. The lipstick in his hand felt just right—a favorite brand, shade Crimson Envy. 121. With a practiced hand, Emma re-applied her makeup, evening out smudges until her lips glowed. 122. She checked her hair, fluffed the waves, and adjusted her cape until it lay perfectly behind her. 123. Emma’s phone buzzed on the counter, reminding her that Patricia—Grandma—would arrive soon, and trick-or-treating would begin. 124. Her heart fluttered, not with a child’s excitement, but with a young adult’s mingled anticipation and responsibility. 125. She walked out of the bathroom into the hallway, heels clicking with assurance. 126. Emma glanced at the living room, scanning for signs of Oliver. 127. She called out, “Ollie? Sweetie, are you ready?” 128. Only silence greeted her, though somewhere deep inside, a vague sense of loss tugged at her heart. 129. She shrugged it off, mind preoccupied with candy sorting and the evening’s plans. 130. The apartment felt smaller, brighter, more cluttered than she remembered a moment ago. 131. Emma checked her purse for house keys and a bottle of water. 132. She stuffed her phone and lipstick inside, smoothing her hair one more time. 133. She grabbed Oliver’s treat bucket, noticing its lightness. 134. In Emma’s mind, Halloween was now about Oliver’s happiness, the joy of being mother and protector. 135.

Emma grinned, showing off her fake fangs. 145. Patricia hung her raincoat by the door, white bob gleaming in the soft light. 146. “Where’s Ollie?” Patricia asked. 147. Emma hesitated, searching the apartment with a faintly troubled expression. 148. “He... must be around here somewhere. You know how he loves to hide before we go out,” she replied. 149. Patricia nodded, settling on the sofa with a sigh. 150. Emma set the treat bucket on the console table, then picked up her keys and checked the clock. 151. “Let’s head out in a few minutes,” she suggested. “The neighborhood party should be starting soon.” 152. Patricia smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear. 153. Emma stepped outside first, heels tapping against the stone steps. 154. Patricia followed, caramel apples safely wrapped. 155.

They arrived at the first house, where pumpkins grinned atop stone steps. 165. Emma motioned for Patricia to lead the way. 166. The door swung open, revealing an older neighbor dressed as a scarecrow. 167. “How adorable—look at your vampire costume!” the woman exclaimed. 168.
