Behind the Mask

Thomas Grant Bruso

Seventeen-year-old Jesse has a babysitting gig at the Linderman's house on Halloween. He loves watching Christie and Dylan, and is thrilled to see them dressed up in cute, creative costumes. When he arrives at their house, Jesse he just knows it will be a fun-filled night of pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating. But Jesse quickly realizes Halloween is not only about candy, pumpkins, and scary costumes. It's known for tricks and ghoulish things, and can bring out the crazies. While trick-or-treating, he notices a strange person wearing a glow-in-the-dark mask watching him from the shadowy street.  The rest of the night turns into a cat-and-mouse game of survival. Strange things start to happen at the Linderman's residence, setting Jesse on edge, making him apprehensive somebody might be taking the spirit of Halloween too far.  Will Jesse survive the things that go bump in the night, or will he become just another tall tale this Halloween?
