[ TT ] It 's Halloween and a curse has hit town , everyone is turning into what they have dressed up as . You 're the only person left to report on what 's happening .

The sodden, raw fabric clung to my shoulders with a desperation that fed my frenzy to get it off. Scrabbling, I clawed first at the collar then at the seams. I had started with the buttons but my hands had shook too much, and my motor skills seemed to deteriorate the more I struggled. 
 
 It might seem funny that I was trying to strip in a cold, dark and rainy October night, but the situation was beyond anything I can convey through these words. 
 
 
 Halloween night, you say? A joy filled holiday filled with sweet and sour? 
 
 Did you know that more crimes occur over Halloween weekend than any other time of year? Do you hear about the dozens of black animals, the cats, the rodents, the birds, that are scalped and prepared as ironic sacrifices? The raped, the murdered, the starving - do you hear their voices calling this holiday? 
 
 What I am warning you about however has nothing to do with these annual acts of monstrosity. No, this is a different monster - a literal monster that is probably clawing at your doorway already, gouging its razor sharp nails through the cracks of the timber. 
 
 You wo n't understand right away, but I hope that this can help you in some form or another. If this has n't made it under your doorway, then probably nobody is reading this, but I am continuing in the off chance that you - occupant of ________ - are alive still and able to find this. 
 
 I now present to you a survival guide. 
 
 
 
 * Rule Number One For Surviving Halloween This Year: Do n't wear a costume, or you'll turn into one of them. In fact, do n't wear anything at all. Your sanity is your most precious resource right now, and anything is a risk to that.
