Twas halloween night. A misty haze had settled over Raine City, adding to the mystic of the moonless night, with the air still and quiet. Saku, a young father, was watching a movie with the sound turned up outside, on his porch. He intended to capture the full atmosphere of the movie by watching it outside instead of inside. His blue eyes intently watching the screen as a jack-o-lantern hat that his daughter Sakura had made earlier balanced precariously on his head.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLmlRtjQlr
His daughter had left with his wife about thirty minutes ago to go trick or treating. His wife never liked horror and she made sure their daughter didn't either at this point in her life, so it was a good time as any to watch a movie recommended to him by a friend.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgEqgrGPFg
As the soundtrack to the movie faded out and went quiet, a gust of air blew through like a thief in the night, almost sending the hat off his crown to the ground. The sea sounded as if it had crashed it's entire might along the shore as he took a moment to balanced it back on his black hair, noting Sakura would be greatly upset should she come home and the hat was either destroyed on not on her father's head.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo9KoLaEr8

"Ding!" his phone beeped to alert him of an urgent email as the base line to the soundtrack began to pick up.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCAPMqVmMr

"Who could be sending emails at this hour in the night?" Saku wondered as he glimpsed over at his phone, briefly illluminating the room as he looked at his notifications.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBU7YwEfDi

It was from his wife. Their daughter had claimed to see some giant in the mist. His wife thought it might have been a tsunami, but their daughter insisted it was a person. Still, his wife sent the message to make sure he checked for Tsunami warnings, which at the time none had been issued.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1j4yx4kI
Saku returned back to his movie as it entered a scene where the lighting flashed, once again, momentarily lighting up the dark room. One of the characters in the movie screamed as Saku saw the shadow of what appeared to be a giant old man. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ713dvt8FV4
He was dressed in black, with dark black hair, but his eyes shone like bright blue fire. His clothing looked to be in tatters, like a homeless person perhaps? But the person smelled strongly of the sea, or perhaps that was just the mist from the open window finally blowing in with a sea breeze.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vZD7oIrnH
Saku looked at the figure, yawned, and went back to watching his movie.
"You aren't afraid of me?" the figure asked. It's voice deep and reverberating the surrounding area.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhjUQMJx8B
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviftlJEFUY
"You? Nah. It is Halloween after all." Saku responded dryly. Never taking his eyes off the television. "But I hate to disappoint you that I don't have any treats for you tonight."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBjXwCRzLy
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdolqP1WAs
"I could be here to rob you and kill you," The figure spoke.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKNb1dHSAn
"Well if you kill me, then robbing me won't matter now would it, since it won't be mine. I do warn you if you want to take something not to go in the room upstairs on the left." Saku said as the characters on screen began running away from an unknown entity.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvCl48vN68
"You are really not afraid?"
"Nope." Saku responded as he ate a few more kernels of popcorn. "There are many things in life worst then death. An upset wife is one of them. And as I said before, it's Halloween. There are a million and one people trying to frighten others."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPMAFrJ9hF
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAxTzapEKR
The figure seemed perplexed by the responses. It came alongside Saku before it sat there quietly and continued watching the movie with him.
"Juice and popcorn?" Saku offered.
"Sure." The intruder responded with a nod.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgllhuB6xMO

The two finished the movie, before Saku bid the person goodbye. When Naomi returned a few minutes later with Sakura, she noticed the second glass that had been washed off.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXADa05XbW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlLnjchClC
"Company?" Naomi asked Saku.
"Yeah." Saku responded. "Entertaining Death while waiting for you two to get back."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z4fAUVbP3
Naomi blinked a few times at Saku. "You know...most people would never be so nonchalant about that."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVKn2NzE6Z
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BbnLf9DUK
"Oh I'm not. To be honest it was a little frightening. A giant of a man breathing like a storm right next to you, smelling of the sea itself. But so long as death was keeping me company, I took comfort in knowing it wasn't trying to catch you."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84YLK4wMDY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W3QLnsJDD
Naomi shook her head and smiled at Saku's logic. "So the best words in the world are not I love you, but your health is good." 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvixpWfxtM3
