An unique story from the perspective of a teen writer.

1. Caroline

2. Today it would be another day for
dear Caroline...

3. ...but darkness never rests and as a
protector of the world of darkness,
she would have to protect the
pumpkin lantern portrals so that
humans would never be able to
enter the world of darkness...

4. She is the protector
of the cemetery, she
prevents the dead
from fleeing,
...but ... When you
do the same things
throughout the night
for 500 years, you get
tired of it...

5. ...that was when she decided to flee...

6. ... Along the way she
found a box which
was written: “don’t
open”...
... But her curiosity
was stronger...
... And when she
opened the box...
She saw what she
had found... She
found the monsters
desires... It could
grant one wish to the
one who opened it...

7. ... But one can ask for just one thing,
but there is price to pay in
exchange...
She asked for what was her biggest
dream which was to be a mermaid
But, in return, she gave her power to
the Portal of the cemetery...
...and by doing that once a year the
tombs of the cemetery open letting
the dead out to the world of living...

8. ...that day became
known as Halloween

9. THE END
