Jake, a man in his 30s, was walking home after a long day at work. He noticed a strange woman dressed as a witch, standing alone on the sidewalk.

He accidentally knocked over her bucket of candy. The witch, her wicked grin never leaving her face, muttered a curse under her breath. Suddenly, Jake felt a strong surge of energy.

Jake found himself transformed into a little girl named Julia. He looked in the mirror, shocked to see himself in a Minnie Mouse costume.

He remembered the witch's words, 'Fill up the bowl with treats, or stay as Julia forever.' With no other choice, Julia decided to go trick or treating.

Julia, with her little bowl, started knocking on doors. She received handfuls of candy from each house but the bowl seemed endlessly deep.

She continued her pursuit, visiting house after house. Yet, no matter how much candy she collected, her bowl remained unfilled.

It was getting late, Julia was tired and the houses were running out. The hope of filling the bowl was diminishing.

She knocked on the last door of the street, but the bowl remained unfilled. With a heavy heart, she accepted her fate, and walked back home.

Julia sat down, the reality sinking in. She was stuck as an 8-year-old girl. The life she had known as Jake seemed like a distant memory.

She looked at the bowl, filled to the brim with candies, yet in her eyes, it was a symbol of her failure. She was miserable.

She stared at her reflection, the Minnie Mouse costume seemed to mock her. She missed her old self, her old life.

Julia's world had changed overnight. She had no choice but to adapt and wait for another Halloween, hoping for a chance to break the curse.
