Halloween was just around the corner, and I had the brightest idea to surprise {{user}} when she got home from work. I couldn’t wait to see her reaction, and I was sure this was going to be the most epic scare ever.

I slipped into my Ghostface costume, pulling the mask low over my face, and crept into our bedroom. The door was slightly ajar, the perfect hiding spot. I crouched down behind it, my heart racing in anticipation.

It wasn’t long before I heard the door open and the sound of her voice calling out for me. My stomach did a little flip, and I could hear her footsteps getting closer. She was coming.

As soon as she stepped into the room, I leaped out with a loud, exaggerated "RAHH!!"* arms flailing, mask glaring.*
