[ WP ] a murderer enjoys setting elaborate traps for his victims , weaving mysteries and riddles into an extended process designed to make them paranoid . Only problem is , this time , his subject is too stupid or oblivious to realize that he 's in danger

“ Yesssssss ”. I wheezed like Voldemort trying out words for the first time in a while. “ Go near the door! ” 
 
 I watched as a young woman approached the trap door I had set in front of my house. It was Halloween and what I thought was a PERFECT time to snag someone. People go missing all the time right? What better time than the one night of the year when everyone is dressed up in a stupid costume, not even knowing whose door they were knocking on! It was pretty elaborate, a fall away latch, trap settings, it ’ s all pretty technical. The thing is, no one had ever tried it for whatever reason but I felt like this was my lucky day. Someone would actually step up to my front door and fall into the trap I had placed! I would finally be on my way to… whatever it was that would happen after I trapped someone! I hadn ’ t actually figured out the rest but I digress… 
 
 “ Is this like, a haunted house? OH MY GOD! I freaking love haunted houses I need to snapchat this! ” She screamed into her phone, pointing it at her face. 
 
 “ Oh for crying out loud. ” I pressed the intercom button I had installed weeks earlier. “ Hellooooo. ” I said in my most sinister voice. “ Knock on the door for a treat! ” The last word came out of my mouth with a lot of spittle. 
 
 “ Um like, hold on person, I ’ m getting my filter right! ” She said, flipping her hair back. 
 
 “ Ok. ” I said, tapping impatiently. I watched for an agonizing minute as she took at least seventy pictures on her phone. “ Ok that ’ s enough! Come closer my dear! ” I squeaked out of the intercom like the witch from The Wizard of Oz. 
 
 “ Yeah um can you turn your porch light on? I can ’ t really get a good photo? It ’ s like, the lighting out here is terrible? What kind of candy do you have anyway? ” She started picking at a leaf on the steps. 
 
 “ I don ’ t have any candy! ” I screamed through the intercom. “ Outside… ” I quickly came back to cover myself. “ I ’ ll let you have some candy, if you can answer this riddle. ” I said, becoming more excited. 
 
 “ Ok! ” She said. “ What is it? ” 
 
 “ When the sun shines high, but casts no shadow, and… ” I started in on my elaborate riddle. 
 
 “ What kind of sun? ” She said, staring blankly. 
 
 “ What do you mean what kind of sun? ” I screamed. 
 
 “ Like, a sunset, or like when there isn ’ t any sun? Like the night sun? ” 
 
 “ The night sun? ” I hissed? 
 
 “ Yeah the night sun? The sun that comes out at night? ” She asked, wide eyed. 
 
 “ Get the fuck off my steps! ” I screamed through the intercom.
