The porch light flickered as the chimera stepped up to the door, three voices arguing in a whisper.
Goat-head: “I'm telling you, going as mundane as possible for Halloween is trendy.”Lion-head: “Mundane isboring. I wish we had a majestic costume fitting my mane.”Snake-head: “Hush, both of you. Let me do the talking — I always get what I want.”
The door creaked open. A startled human blinked at the sight — horns, mane, and tail all grinning at once.
“Trick or treat!” they chimed in chaotic unison.The snake-tail leaned forward, voice smooth and teasing: “We like treats… but tricks are more fun.”
The human froze. Candy hit the bowl, fast.They left with giggles, the tail whispering, “Told you — sugar and charm, unbeatable combo.”
