Steel had gone through the usual haunts, he had gone through the haunted house, he had gone through Samhain's tower and now he had also gone through the rave garden of no actual rest. He was skipping along. He was losing games. He was laughing very loudly. And he was crying softly. But he was also angry with a raging hate fire. The puke had dried from his mask. The long since dried blood stuck to his tuxedo had started falling off like dried skin on an old man's scalp. Generally speaking. Steel looked disgusting and mad.

He had found a door standing alone without a house or other building in the forest outside of town and walked through it and he had gotten to this strange place. It was a white room that sometimes turned black. It was endlessly big. There was no floor and it felt like you walked in the air but there was definitely something beneath your feet. Strange. Very strange. The one thing that seemed to exist here were game booths. So Steel walked up to one of them. It was a skeleton again. All Steel felt was anger, he wanted to grind the skeleton to bonemeal. But he could not. He needed the pops. The pops was all he had now and it was all he wanted.

The skeleton would lead Steel through a magically appearing door into a dark room. The skeleton then explained that to win this game and gain the pumpkin pops you had to say bloody mary three times and come out of the room without having been scared. Steel found this to be ridiculous but he remembered doing this when he was younger. Nothing had happened then and nothing would probably happen now.

The skeleton left and a mirror magically appeared in the room. And so Steel chanted.
“Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!”

Having failed the game. Victor had placed the heart pin on the wrong skeleton. He had placed it on the one that was real and not the fake one where he was actually supposed to place it. Annoying. Embarrassing. Moving on through this strange world where there was nothing except for a sea of whiskey that was hard as concrete. This void was like a cursed place that showed the traveller something they wanted to see but made it in such a way where they could not get it even if they wanted to.

Victor in time found another game booth. The skeleton in the booth greeted Victor and Victor greeted them back. Hoping that he would win this game as the skeleton explained the rules. “Go into this room.” They pointed to a room that suddenly appeared. The room was dark. “Say bloody mary three times.” They then explained that if Victor would come out of the room without having soiled himself or shown any other form of being scared then he would win. Victor agreed and went into the room. When in the room a mirror magically appeared out of nowhere. And Victor said the magic word three times. What happened next. Well that's a story for another time.
