Prologue
A peaceful place to live, new friends, a fun and new life – that was all Jane ever wanted when she decided to live in SocioTown. She heard nice things of the town and she was eager to try the place immediately.
Whatever Jane was leaving, no one could really say. Her old life was boring her to the bones – she just wanted something new, something fresh, and definitely not mundane. She left any traces of her old life for this new one.
So she packed her things, readied her documents, and kissed her old life goodbye. She expected having afternoon strolls in the park, playfully chasing butterflies and bugs during her spare time, and maybe even take up a new sport in this new life of hers.
But Jane never anticipated the grotesque, the sinister, and the fear that cuts in the dark. Yes, she heard nice things of the town, but she didn’t hear about the Pumpkin Man. Yes, she expected a lot of things, but she never expected the Pumpkin Man.

Chapter 1: Shadows
It was a rainy night when she got into town. Everything was new to her and she was thrilled to have these new experiences – until the part where she almost got into jail for a car accident she didn’t even do. That’s a nice start, Jane thought bitterly. She wondered if that boded well for her new life.
After an hour of explaining her innocence to the very responsive, albeit lacking in investigative skills, police officers of her new town, she finally reached her home-to-be. It was still pouring down hard and her pink shirt and white jeans were soaked badly, with mud splattered all over, but she was happy to gaze at her apartment building. After her fiasco with the police, all Jane wanted was to soak in a nice warm bath in her nice and warm room.
“Grand Heights West Apartments,” she muttered to herself while looking up at the entirety of the building. Jane expected it to be grand, and it was truly grand in size, but it was fairly simple with its design. No matter, Jane thought, as long as there’s a warm room inside.
There are numerous apartment buildings around town, but most of them can’t be rented cheaply. She wanted to stay at Inspiration Pointe, but settled for something affordable instead. As long as there is a roof on my head, right? Jane assured herself. At this point, her long brown hair was already dripping, so she hurriedly got inside.
With a few knocks, she entered the apartment’s lobby. It was still and quiet inside, and her entrance quieter as the carpet cushioned her every step. A man with spiky hair and a dark-colored shirt was absorbed over something in his laptop. Jane wondered if he even heard her come in.
“Err… Hello. I’m Jane,” she said, after a minute of contemplating on what to say to the busy man and his laptop. The moment Jane spoke, the man jumped like he saw Frankenstein’s monster, and blinked a few times, before realizing it was just a girl who looked like she was dipped in a swimming pool like a teabag.
“Mother of bugs, don’t scare me like that!” The man said while clutching his chest. “I thought you were the–”
Thunder and lightning blasted so loudly that both Jane and the man jumped and screamed. After their momentary shriek fest, Jane swore she saw a shadow outside the window when the lightning flashed.
“I’m usually not like this. I’ll have you know that I watched five Asian horror movies alone. Alone!” The man chuckled; he was clearly acting brave after what happened. But Jane didn’t pay him any mind, as she was fixed on the shadow she just saw.
“I’m sorry I scared you. I’m Jane, the new resident here.” She turned away from the window.
“You’re Jane? I could have sworn you’re the ghost lady of the lake. You’re pretty soaked,” he chuckled again. And you’re the shriek monster, Jane thought.
After their introductions and a short briefing about the town, her sponsor and apartment receptionist welcomed her to SocioTown. She was ready to hit the sack, but it seems like there are things to do before she could rest.
“It’s a bit late, but would you like to do some quests now?” her sponsor asked.
A warm bath and a soft bed, or a night out in the rain doing odd tasks? Jane wondered what to do next.

Chapter Two - The Voice in the Rain
“Doing quests will be fun!” Her sponsor and apartment manager had said, but Jane thought otherwise.
Rain was still pouring down hard when she stepped outside. She gave a momentary glance at the window but there was no one there, only bushes and a mud puddle thanks to the rain. It must have been my imagination, Jane assured herself. Still, the shadow she saw disturbed her a bit.
Her first task was to deliver a message to a guy named Phil. His name might be short, but the night (and his problems) will be quite long for him. Jane noted that she should be wary of Phil and his problems. Nothing good will come out if you get involved with a man having troubles with his girlfriend.
Running around town in the rain made Jane wish she should have arrived earlier. After going back to her sponsor for another quest, she was ready to give up and run to her room to crash on her bed for the night. Instead, she finished her last quest (so far) and slumped in front of her apartment building’s door after she was done.
“What a day,” Jane sighed. The cement was damp but Jane didn’t mind, she was soaked anyway. Jane was starting to enjoy the rain and the gloomy night sky of the town when she heard a rustle at the right corner of the apartment.
“W-Who is it?” Her voice squeaked a little. For a moment, Jane could only hear the rain. Was that just her imagination too, like the shadow earlier?
“I should probably go inside,” Jane said out loud. Hearing her own voice comforted her, for some reason. She hurriedly stood up and reached for the doorknob.
“You shouldn’t be here at this time,” a voice suddenly boomed from the corner. Thunder and lightning thrashed at the night sky. Jane would have jumped, but the sudden voice had frozen her with fear. Why would he say that I shouldn’t be here? Why is it a bad time? Who is he? Will he hit me? Throw me at the river? Will he chase me? Who is he? Who is he? A thousand questions floated in Jane’s head and it made her head ache. She wanted to scream, to run, to throw something at the unknown man, and to scream, scream, scream.
Another set of thunder and lightning boomed across the sky. At that instant, Jane saw the source of the voice. Looming just at the corner of her apartment building was a man wearing a vicious-looking orange mask, with a carved smile that’s far from nice – a pumpkin mask.
“You shouldn’t be here. Wrong place, wrong time,” he muttered and took a step forward. And Jane finally screamed.
