The Halloween Imps had it easy. Short build up, over in one night, only sweets and a bit of dressing up required.

Then he’d seen the job advert: ‘Halloween 2023 – Positions Available – Competitive Terms’.

While the others jumped around in excitement, he quietly took the keys to the Elf Mobile and slipped away.
