Iām calling this one⦠āThe Lantern Keeper & the Moonlight Pactā
āDonāt blinkācats of the smoke see everything.ā
Somewhere deep in the woods, under the eye of a suspiciously nosy moon, a boy sits cross-legged and wide-eyed, guarding a lantern that definitely whispers secrets when it flickers. Behind him? Two spectral felines with eyes like celestial torches, clearly late for their covenās quarterly haunt-and-snack potluck.
š Winner of: The Most Suspiciously Calm While Surrounded by Ominous Mist Award
š„ Prize: A lifetime supply of canned mystery and one ghost-free campfire story per full moon.
Backstory? He followed a firefly and forgot the way back. Afterward? The cats offered a rideāprovided he never asks their names.
