Happy Halloween!
I've been sitting on this story's outline for ages now, and Halloween seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally finish up and publish a story not related to the story exchanges. I'm quite satisfied with it, though it ended up longer than I anticipated, so it ended up being down to the wire.
Huge thanks to EssexEye for providing some last-minute editing help. Always a pleasure!
I'd also like to thank Lheriss and conesy , specifically for providing feedback on the name for the SFX company in the story, and especially Rosalie Takao, whose suggestion I ended up going with.
We'll be seeing more of MASFX's work in the future
Stay safe out there!
EDIT: I decided to change MASFX (Masker-Aid Special Effects) to TFSFX (True Fantasy Special Effects) due to some stories I'm cooking up for the future. The name "Masker-Aid" will get used eventually, though, so I maintain my thanks!
