Under the attic rafters, Vesper pressed orange paper flat with both hands. She had set herself one challenge: make a Halloween sticker without asking the old craft box for help. Snip, snip went her tiny scissors. The air smelled like dust, glue, and cinnamon string. She cut a pumpkin, a bat, and one small star, but when she peeled them up, the dark attic swallowed their edges.

The border dried thick and bright, like a little path of moonlight. Her star smiled. Her bat bobbed proudly. Ever since that night, Halloween stickers have worn pale rims so no secret shape gets lost in the dark. Can you spot Vesper’s moon-bright edges under the attic stars?
