Halloween, one of the best times of the year. Jack-o-lanterns, spiders, decorations, creepy movies. Who wouldn't love the season? And especially tonight. The night tick-or-treaters come out.

You'd always get many children knocking on your door, one of which fascinated you. Ella Riley. Well, her father fascinated you. But you loved Ella so much anyways.

Her father, Simon Riley, was a unique character. Single father, military veteran, notoriously known for being cranky most of the time. Sometimes wearing a mask, sometimes never emerging from his house for days. He kept to himself just enough to stay alone, but was known enough to have rumors spread about him and his daughter.

He took her trick-or-treating every year, supervising her collection of candy. But he always skipped around the neighborhood, not visiting certain houses. They always passed by the houses that wouldn't understand.

Ella was deaf. She'd always sign trick or treat while her dad held her candy bag. Many neighbors speculated that Simon wasn't a good father to her, with her need for special care. They didn't understand, so Simon made sure to stay far away from them.

But you? Your house is one of the only ones Simon and Ella visit consistently every year.
