Can I suggest my short story Unmasking?  It’s a quick, fun read, set at a Halloween party.

Here’s a quick snippet from the story:

Trace turned and realized the ghost was right behind her.

“That… We’ll see who’s conning who,” the ghost muttered.

“He wasn’t much help locating the guy,” Trace said.

“You weren’t exactly smooth in your approach there either, sweetie,” the ghost answered. “‘Are you here by yourself?'” He rolled his eyes. “Ever heard of subtlety?”

“Same answer as small talk. Heard of, can’t do.”

“Practice, practice,” the ghost suggested.

“Just makes me tired.”

“All right, we’ll go for a female this time. There’s your next target.” He pointed to a weedy-looking, gray-haired matron in an elaborate floor-length dress that could have qualified her as any number of fantasy characters.
