It was Halloween, my favorite time of the year. I had my dream job as a tattoo artist, a loyal best friend, and an ex who happily tended to my needs without complicating our arrangement with feelings. Everything was going great until Devil’s Night when the masked man watched me from the shadows like a predator stalking his next meal, and that’s what I was: his prey. Like any natural-born predator, he was bloodthirsty, staking his claim to me before I could see the face behind his mask. He wasn’t afraid to kill for a bite of what he craved.

A moonlit pumpkin patch deep in the forest, where jack-o'-lanterns glow, and fog clouds my vision. It's exactly the kind of place I've always dreamed of being hunted, chased by a masked man until I have nothing left to give. Tonight, my fantasy is my reality. As I run barefoot through the maze of orange lanterns, my heart pounding with terror, I realize my pursuer isn't just playing a game—he's staking a claim. Every step deeper into the patch brings me closer to surrender, further from any desire to escape.

I wake in a vineyard with no memory of how I got here. Black heart balloons drift between twisted grapevines, and somewhere in the darkness, he's watching. When his voice cuts through the cold February night, commanding me to run, I obey without question. But every predator should remember: sometimes the prey has claws of her own.

I wake up bound in a winter wonderland with no memory of how I got here. Thousands of Christmas lights illuminate the land around me—a sprawling tree farm transformed into a mystical land of candy. Through rows of evergreens wrapped in twinkling lights and past peppermint archways that morph this place into a dark fairy tale, I run as he closes in. He knows this place. Every path. Every hiding spot. He knows me—my body's treacherous responses, the dark desires I've fought to hide.
